Dear Maintainer,

I've notice that the upgrade of Python to 3.13
and removal of Python 3.12 will left two Python 3.12 cache files behind
in /usr/share/hugin/data/plugins-templates/__pycache__/

Greetings

Alexandre

Hello,

The py-files for both of these are part of hugin-data (a dependency of hugin-tools). Are the python cache files removed when uninstalling
_this_ package?

Hi Alexandre (2025.03.10_10:32:28_+0000)

Maybe can Stefano answer help you.

If you install modules to a private path like that, you should install
an rtupdate script in /usr/share/python3/runtime.d/ that calls py3clean
and py3compile.

That message was in the context of debputy, an alternative to
debhhelper.

hugin looks like uses standard package tooling, so you just need to
specify /usr/share/hugin/data/ as a private module path to dh_python3.

Hello,

thank you for the hand-holding.

Hugin already does point dh_python to the respective subdirectory[1] and dh_python adds postinst/prerm scripts to hugin*. The cleanup therefore
happens when hugin ins uninstalled or upgraded. Alexandre would like to
have the cleanup unrelated to hugin upgrade on python-3.12-removal.

So this sounds like a feature request for dh-python.
