NAME

       dh_python3 - calculates Python 3 dependencies, adds maintainer scripts to byte compile files, etc.

SYNOPSIS

       dh_python3 -p PACKAGE [-V [X.Y][-][A.B]] DIR_OR_FILE [-X REGEXPR]

OPTIONS

       --version
	      show program's version number and exit

       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

       --no-guessing-deps
	      disable guessing dependencies

       --no-dbg-cleaning
	      do not remove any files from debug packages

       --skip-private
	      don't check private directories

       -v, --verbose
	      turn verbose mode on

       -i, --indep
	      act on architecture independent packages

       -a, --arch
	      act on architecture dependent packages

       -q, --quiet
	      be quiet

       -p PACKAGE, --package=PACKAGE
	      act on the package named PACKAGE

       -N NO_PACKAGE, --no-package=NO_PACKAGE
	      do not act on the specified package

       -V VRANGE
	      specify list of supported Python versions. See py3compile(1) for examples

       -X REGEXPR, --exclude=REGEXPR
	      exclude items that match given REGEXPR. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.

       --compile-all
	      compile  all files from given private directory in postinst/rtupdate not just the ones provided by the package (i.e. do not pass the
	      --package parameter to py3compile/py3clean)

       --depends=DEPENDS
	      translate given requirements into Debian dependencies and add them to ${python:Depends}. Use it for missing items in requires.txt.

       --recommends=RECOMMENDS
	      translate given requirements into Debian dependencies and add them to ${python:Recommends}

       --suggests=SUGGESTS
	      translate given requirements into Debian dependencies and add them to ${python:Suggests}

NAME

       dh_python - calculates Python dependencies and adds postinst and prerm Python scripts (deprecated)

SYNOPSIS

       dh_python [debhelperoptions] [-n] [-V version] [moduledirs...]

DESCRIPTION

       Note: This program is deprecated. You should use dh_pysupport or dh_pycentral instead. This program will do nothing if debian/pycompat or a
       Python-Version control file field exists.

       dh_python is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the ${python:Depends} substitutions and adding them to substvars files.
       It will also add a postinst and a prerm script if required.

       The program will look at Python scripts and modules in your package, and will use this information to generate a dependency on python, with
       the current major version, or on pythonX.Y if your scripts or modules need a specific python version. The dependency will be substituted
       into your package's control file wherever you place the token ${python:Depends}.

       If some modules need to be byte-compiled at install time, appropriate postinst and prerm scripts will be generated. If already byte-
       compiled modules are found, they are removed.

       If you use this program, your package should build-depend on python.

OPTIONS

       module dirs
	   If your package installs Python modules in non-standard directories, you can make dh_python check those directories by passing their
	   names on the command line. By default, it will check /usr/lib/site-python, /usr/lib/$PACKAGE, /usr/share/$PACKAGE,
	   /usr/lib/games/$PACKAGE, /usr/share/games/$PACKAGE and /usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages.

	   Note: only /usr/lib/site-python, /usr/lib/python?.?/site-packages and the extra names on the command line are searched for binary (.so)
	   modules.

       -V version
	   If the .py files your package ships are meant to be used by a specific pythonX.Y version, you can use this option to specify the
	   desired version, such as 2.3. Do not use if you ship modules in /usr/lib/site-python.

       -n, --noscripts
	   Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.
