python-defaults (2.7.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Piotr Ożarowski ]
  * dh_python2:
    - remove even more \.so.* dangling symlinks, thanks to Stefano
      Rivera for providing a test case
    - rewrite shebangs by default (disable via --no-shebang-rewrite),
      examples:
       + "/usr/bin/env python*" → "/usr/bin/python*"
       + "/usr/local/bin/python foo" → "/usr/bin/python foo"
       + "/usr/bin/python2" → "/usr/bin/python"
    - new --shebang option to replace all shebangs in bin dirs
      (example: --shebang /usr/bin/python2.6)
    - no longer generates python2.X | python2.Y depenendies for public modules
      (Closes: 625740)
    - translate Python version numbers into Debian ones for those
      require.txt items that have a pydist file with (uscan like) rules
      or PEP386 flag (Closes: #653740)
  * Improve dh_python2 manpage a bit, add information about cleaning debug
    packages (Closes: #653741)
  * pyversions, dh_python2, pycompile: allow to override system's list of
    supported Python versions via DEBPYTHON_SUPPORTED and default Python
    version via DEBPYTHON_DEFAULT env. variables
  * Debhelper's python2 sequence now inserts dh_python2 before dh_installinit
    (closes: 670418)

python-defaults (2.7.2-5) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Piotr Ożarowski ]
  * dh_python2:
    - generates rtupdate scripts for private directories that compile files
      from given package only, add --compile-all to dh_python2's call if you
      want the old behaviour (i.e. compile also files (plugins?) provided by
      other packages, which do not use a helper/bytecompile them)
    - add --no-dbg-cleaning option (to disable removing files from debug
      packages)
    - fix handling "distname[features]" in debpython.pydist.guess_dependency
      (closes: 636255)

python-defaults (2.7.2-2) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Piotr Ożarowski ]
  * dh_python2:
    - no longer generates maintainer scripts that invoke pycentral's
      pkgremove script, use --clean-pycentral if you want the old behaviour
    - egg-info directories are parsed even if cleaning the name was necessary
      (thanks to Arnaud Fontaine for the patch)
    - private directory names with apostrophes are escaped properly in
      maintainer script's -X arguments (thanks to Jakub Wilk for the patch)
    - deal with original symlinks more carefully (closes: 627969, thanks to
      Leonid Borisenko for the original patch)
    - add --ignore-shebangs option that will disable translating shebangs into
      Debian dependencies
    - add --ignore-namespace option that will disable handling
      Egg-info's namespace_packages.txt (AKA namespace feature)
    - PyDist: update dist_fallback file (with atypical Debian package names)
    - disable PyDist feature if dh sequencer is invoked --with pydeb
      (closes: 630502, thanks to Gediminas Paulauskas for the original patch)
    - warn if public Python extension is linked to libpython2.X, fail if it's
      linked to a wrong version
    - warn if both XS-Python-Version and X-Python-Version are defined
    - private dirs: if there is more than one Python version parsed from
      shebangs, byte-compile the dir with default Python version (or the one
      requested via X-Python-Version) instead od failing. Add dependency for
      each (supported) interpreter detected in shebangs
    - /usr/share/pyshared is not added to the package if empty (closes: 623909)
    - dh_python2's manpage updated (among other changes, no longer advertises
      python:Breaks - closes: 631397, describes .pyinstall and .pyremove files)
    - remove setuptools from requires.txt (it is replaced with
      python-pkg-resources Debian dependency)
    - "--namespace foo" no longer triggers .../dist-packages/bar/foo/__init__.py
      creation, use "--namespace bar.foo" instead

  [ Scott Kitterman ]
  * Python policy:
    - Add deprecation information about python-central and python-support
    - Clarify Python module and package descriptions

    $(call py_builddir, 2.6) returns "build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6" on amd64
  * dh_python2, pycompile, pyclean: add "namespace" feature:
    dh_python2 parses Egg's namespace_packages.txt files (in addition to
    --namespace command line argument(s)) and drops empty __init__.py files
    from binary package. pycompile will regenerates them at install time and
