PYVERSIONS()															      PYVERSIONS()

NAME

       pyversions - print python version information

SYNOPSIS

       pyversions [-h] [-v] [<options>]

DESCRIPTION

       pyversions prints information about installed, supported python runtimes, the default runtime, and parses the information of the PythonVer-
       sion fields in the package control file.

OPTIONS

       -d, --default
	      Show the default python version.

       -s, --supported
	      Show the supported python versions.

       -r, --requested [<version string>|<control file>]
	      Reads the value of the XS-Python-Version field in the source section of a control file and shows all matching python  versions.  The
	      parameter  is  interpreted  as a version string, if it is not the name of a file. If the XS-Python-Version field is missing, get the
	      version information from debian/pyversions.  Without any parameter, it will fall back to list the supported  Python  versions  after
	      checking debian/control and debian/pyversions.

       -i, --installed
	      Show the installed supported python versions.

       -v, --version
	      Limit the output to the version numbers of the python versions.

       -h, --help
	      Print a help text.

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_python2 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.
