Package: dh-python Version: 1.20131021-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I'm porting an existing package [0] to use “pybuild”. The build is failing
at the ‘dh_python2’ step:
=====
$ dh install --with python2,python3 --buildsystem=pybuild \
--package python-coverage-dbg \
--package python3-coverage-dbg
dh_python2 -O--buildsystem=pybuild -O--package=python-coverage-dbg
-O--package=python3-coverage-dbg
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/dh-python/dh_python2", line 525, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/share/dh-python/dh_python2", line 358, in main
rules = open('debian/rules', 'r').read()
File "/usr/lib/python3.3/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode
return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 54:

E: Failed autobuilding of package
=====
This is because the ‘debian/rules’ content is encoded in UTF-8, but
‘dh_python2’ is incorrectly assuming ASCII:
=====
# disable PyDist if dh_pydeb is used
if options.guess_deps:
try:
rules = open('debian/rules', 'r').read()
[…]
=====
Debian Policy does not mention a content encoding for ‘debian/rules’, and
the GNU Make manual also does not mention it.
I was unable to construct a test case for ‘dh-python’ which exercises that
“guess_deps” option, so was not able to cause the error that way.
The expectation is that any encoding which satisfies GNU Make should also
be accepted when ‘dh-python’ accesses the ‘debian/rules’ file.
[0]: This is ‘python-coverage’, in a Bazaar branch for the migration work.
Use ‘bzr branch --bind
bzr+ssh://bzr.debian.org/bzr/collab-maint/python-coverage/pybuild/’
to get the current packaging files for this migration.
