[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#584918: python-insighttoolkit3: Python package installation not usable

[Michael Hanke]

Package: python-insighttoolkit3
Version: 3.16.0-1
Severity: important

Hi,

the ITK Python bindings get installed without a their own package --
meaning all files end up in /usr/lib/pyshared/. Therefore I cannot do
things like:

>>> import itk

This should break virtually all python packages assuming a similar
layout as the one created by the ITK upstream installer -- and I guess
that most software does that.

This change has already been suggested in:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=516766#15

I report this issue against 3.16, but it is still present in the latest
version in unstable.


Thanks,

Michael
