Bug ID: 507459
Summary: Generated Python binding files installed in the wrong
place for Debian systems
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kguiaddons
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bluescreenaven...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
This is ALL 8 (at time of writing) frameworks that install python bindings, not
just kguiaddons, I am reporting against kguiaddons because it looks like
kguiaddons was first
SUMMARY
The generated python binding files are installed under
$INSTALLDIR/local/lib/python3.13/dist-packages/ or in my case
/opt/local/lib/python3.13/dist-packages/
Debian/Ubuntu tends to not install Python files under /$INSTALLDIR/local/lib/
but under /$INSTALLDIR/lib/python3.13/site-packages/ and I can validate with
"apt-file search /usr/local/lib"
Debian, seems to have its own way of handing Python that is unique to other
distros AFAIK
You might want to use something like this, and I only got it through grepping,
and finding this is how fontconfig installs their bindings, they use
sysconfig.get_python_lib from distutils. I don't know the arguments they are
passing the 0's to, I am not really 100% familiar with it. But yeah. and you
might also want to append the project name at the end I think (like
$INSTALLDIR/local/lib/python3.13/dist-packages/KGuiAddons/KGuiAddons.cpython-313-x86_64-linux-gnu.so),
some packages do that, although not all do, so maybe that is not required

```
Right now, Ubuntu seems to have the latest one where building the Python
bindings is turned on by default, looks like they explicitly disabled it for
now, but when they go to re-enable it it might be an issue
