NAME

       dh_pypy  -  calculates  PyPy  dependencies, adds maintainer scripts to byte compile files,
       etc.

SYNOPSIS

          dh_pypy -p PACKAGE [-V [X.Y][-][A.B]] DIR [-X REGEXPR]

DESCRIPTION

   QUICK GUIDE FOR MAINTAINERS
          • build-depend on pypy and dh-python,

          • add ${pypy:Depends} to Depends

          • build module/application using its standard build system,

          • install files to the standard locations,

          • add pypy to dh's --with option, or:

          • call dh_pypy in the binary-* target,

   NOTES
   dependencies
       dh_pypy tries to translate Python  dependencies  from  the  requires.txt  file  to  Debian
       dependencies.  In  many  cases,  this  works  without any additional configuration because
       dh_pypy comes with a build-in mapping of Python module names to Debian  packages  that  is
       periodically  regenerated  from the Debian archive. By default, the version information in
       the Python dependencies is  discarded.  If  you  want  dh_pypy  to  generate  more  strict
       dependencies  (e.g.  to  avoid  ABI  problems),  or if the automatic mapping does not work
       correctly for your package, you have to provide dh_pypy  with  additional  rules  for  the
       translation of Python module to Debian package dependencies.

       For  a  package  pypy-foo that depends on a package pypy-bar, there are two files that may
       provide such rules:

       1. If the pypy-foo source package ships with a debian/pypy-overrides file,  this  file  is
          used by dh_pypy during the build of pypy-foo.

       2. If  the  pypy-bar  source  package  ships  with a debian/pypy-bar.pydist file (and uses
          dh_pypy),   this   file   will   be    included    in    the    binary    package    as
          /usr/share/dh-python/dist/pypy/pypy-bar.  During  the  build  of pypy-foo, dh_pypy will
          then find and use the file.

       Both files have the same format described  in  /usr/share/doc/dh-python/README.PyDist.  If
       all you want is to generate versioned dependencies (and assuming that the pypy-bar package
       provides the pybar Python module), in most cases it will be sufficient  to  put  the  line
       pybar pypy-bar; PEP386 into either of the above files.

   namespace feature
       dh_pypy parses Egg's namespace_packages.txt files (in addition to --namespace command line
       argument(s)) and drops empty __init__.py  files  from  binary  package.  pypycompile  will
       regenerate  them  at  install  time  and  pypyclean will remove them at uninstall time (if
       they're no longer used  in  installed  packages).  It's  still  a  good  idea  to  provide
       __init__.py file in one of binary packages (even if all other packages use this feature).

   private dirs
       /usr/share/foo,   /usr/share/games/foo,   /usr/lib/foo   and   /usr/lib/games/foo  private
       directories are scanned for Python files by default (where foo is binary package name). If
       your  package  ships  Python  files  in  some other directory, add another dh_pypy call in
       debian/rules with directory name as an argument - you can use different set of options  in
       this  call.  If  you  need  to  change  options for a private directory that is checked by
       default, invoke dh_pypy with --skip-private option and add another call  with  a  path  to
       this directory and new options.

   debug packages
       In  binary  packages  which name ends with -dbg, all files in /usr/lib/pypy/dist-packages/
       directory that have extensions different  than  so  or  h  are  removed  by  default.  Use
       --no-dbg-cleaning option to disable this feature.

   overriding supported / default PyPy versions
       If  you want to override system's list of supported PyPy versions or the default one (f.e.
       to build a package that includes symlinks for older version of PyPy or compile  .py  files
       only  for  given  interpreter  version),  you  can  do  that  via DEBPYPY_SUPPORTED and/or
       DEBPYPY_DEFAULT env. variables.
