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.
