If you’re packaging Python Libraries into Debian, you’ll someday or the other encounter a lot of libraries using different files and folders such as tests and examples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While tests are automatically handled by dh_python helper tools, examples are usually not and you’ll have to manually configure your setup to install python library examples, let me show you how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this, we need to create a new file inside the Debian folder called package.examples. Here, “package” refers to your package that will install the examples. Since we’re installing the examples of a python library, your file should be titled “python3-packagename.examples”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now all you have to do is just insert the directory of the examples folder into this file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
examples\/*<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThat’s it. Now when you run sbuild or pbuilder again, it will automatically install the examples for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
