khertan, I'm quite interested in looking at that snippet if you wouldn't mind sharing.

Isn't python-support and python-central exactly for this? Python-support is even very easy to use, basically just add dh_pysupport to debian/rules and python-support to build-depends and depends. Just make sure that postinst has #DEBHELPER# somewhere

i've managed to build my app with dh_pysupport and it seems to load faster now.

.pyc files were build. Is there a significant difference to .pyo files?

Afaik you should not hack something "always on" in python as it is not able to properly free ram and will cause to slow down your system! Is the daemon running in background coded in python?

Hmm? I thought Python's garbage collection was rather good.

mbo, I browsed your source code but couldn't see how you built with it, I added dh_pysupport to my build file but I'm not to certain how to edit the postinstall?

i'm using a hacked version of py2deb. I added python-support to build_depends and depends in debian/control and dh_pysupport to debian/control. It's important to add the path of your installed app to dh_pysupport. e.g. "dh_pysupport /opt/your-package", because your module will not be installed in a standard public path.

i've used the extras-assistant to upload the files. If something is wrong with the syntax, the build log will tell you.

The builder runs dh_pysupport and the .pyc files will be added to your .deb.

Editing postinstall was not necessary. I don't know, if this is the right way, but it worked in the end...

"Know thy garbage collector". No garbage collector is perfect, and Python's is no exception. It would be unfair to say that it leaks constantly and can't properly free memory - I would rather say you have to be just a little bit careful with your references and all will be well even in the longest running processes.

The python garbage isn't weak ... there is just some things that are not auto release and you should do it yourself as there is a purpose to not release it. (read the documentation)

Personnaly i use : python -m compileall /home/opt/pygtkeditor in my post install script of pygtkeditor
