[Python-modules-team] Further Questions

> About central vs support, as they are entrypoints for packaging
> 1. Can anybody explain what is python-central exactly?

aptitude show python-central; man dh_pycentral

> 2. What is the differences between python-central and python-support?

they implement the same thing in different way and use different
end location for .pyc files (i.e. pysupport adds /usr/lib/pymodules to
sys.path)

> 3. Why isn't it possible to choose "one-- and preferably only one
> --obvious way to do it" (PEP 20)?

it is, we now prefer python-support

> 4. What are the main conflicting points between support and central?

both of them have their own issues, see BTS for more info

> 5. Where is the latest source for python-support to view
> /usr/share/doc/python-support/README.gz online?

svn co svn://svn.debian.org/collab-maint/deb-maint/python-support/trunk/

> 6. Is there any PEP to explain reasoning behind Debian packaging and
> central/support dichotomy?

it's Linux distributions specific, so there's no PEP
