Can you make it clear in this description that it only plays unencrypted DVDs, perhaps giving a link to upstream's list of them. -- Malcolm Parsons finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for info

Or does an i386 .pyc/.pyo work on other architectures? .pyc and .pyo files are completely portable. At work we use the same .pyc files on solaris, hpux and nt. So I don't see why python files are in /usr/lib, not /usr/share. python modules should be supplied as source, and byte compiled in the postinst.

There is no point byte compiling during package creation, as every time
the python2.{1,2} packages are upgraded, every .py file is byte
compiled again anyway:
python2.2.postinst:
for i in $DIRLIST ; do
/usr/bin/python2.2 -O /usr/lib/python2.2/compileall.py -q $i
/usr/bin/python2.2 /usr/lib/python2.2/compileall.py -q $i
done
resulting in:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/Guppi$ ls -l
total 328
-rw-r--r--1 root root71237 Jan 4 21:50 __init__.py
-rw-r--r--1 root root 120672 Jan 9 21:00 __init__.pyc
-rw-r--r--1 root root 115395 Jan 9 21:00 __init__.pyo
Unless you think it took 5 days to build this package?
It's also a waste of archive space, bandwidth, etc.
As I upgrade over a modem, making packages the useful part of a package 4 times
smaller is IMHO a very good idea.

Unless something else in the package is architecture dependent, the package should be Architecture: all Currently .py and .pyc files should be shipped together in the .deb
