Package: python-support
Version: 0.3.8
Severity: normal

One on my packages (mercurial) need to have a template directory (or
symlink) in its python modules directory. Ie, Once installed, I must
have:
"python_search_path"/mercurial/*.py{,c,o}
"python_search_path"/mercurial/templates

Before the new python policy, I installed a symlink for
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mercurial/templates to
/usr/share/mercurial/templates
as /usr/share/mercurial/templates contains files independant of the
python version (html templates, images, css, ...)


With the new policy and python-support, my modules end in
/var/lib/python-support/$v/mercurial
I need to install the symlink in this directory (mercurial does not work
if the symlink is not in the same directory as its modules)

I tried to add the symlink in
/usr/share/python-support/mercurial/mercurial
but update-python-modules ignores it.

Can you make update-python-modules creating symlink for symlinks (as it
does for the other plain files) ?

An other solution would have be to move the
/usr/share/mercurial/templates directory in
/usr/share/python-support/mercurial/mercurial. In this case,
update-python-modules would have created symlinks for all individual
files. But I really prefer to have the template directory in
/usr/share/mercurial/templates. It is a lot more logical with respect to
the FSH.

  Best regards,
