What is dh-virtualenv¶
dh-virtualenv
is a tool that aims to combine Debian packaging with
self-contained virtualenv based Python deployments. To do this, the
package extends debhelper’s sequence by providing a new command in sequence,
dh_virtualenv
, which effectively replaces following commands
from the sequence:
dh_auto_install
dh_python2
dh_pycentral
dh_pysupport
In the sequence the dh_virtualenv
is inserted right after
dh_perl
.
