     Thanks also to Zack Weinberg for different patch solving this issue
     in 912909!
 
   [ Helmut Grohne ]

     - make it easier to cross-build Python 2 extensions (closes: 901759)
     - use DEB_HOST_ARCH{,_OS} instead of DEB_TARGET_ARCH{,_OS} (closes: 912892)

     (closes: 903698).
 
   [ Nicolas Dandrimont ]
   * Support "Compatible release" version specifiers ("~=") in the requires
     parser (closes: 913338).
 
   [ Piotr Ożarowski ]
   * pybuild.pm: follow python3-tox → tox (unfortunate) rename
   * dh-python now provides dh-sequence-python3, dh-sequence-python2
     and dh-sequence-pypy packages (to be used in debhelper >= 12)
   * Update tests to use 3.7 as default/supported Python 3.X (closes: 914998)

2018

dh-python (3.20180927) unstable; urgency=medium

   [ Ondřej Nový ]
   * Enable verbose mode for nose to comply with Debian Policy 4.2.0
 
   [ Piotr Ożarowski ]

     - remove .../dist-packages/.foo directories (.cache, .pytest_cache, etc.)
     - install debian/python{,3}-foo.bcep files into /usr/share/python{,3}/bcep/
   * dh_python3: generated postinst files will bytecompile for pypy3 if
     /usr/bin/pypy3compile is available (py3clean will remove pypy3 generated
     .pyc files so prerm doesn't require any changes).
     PyPy3 support is still a WIP so pypy3compile errors are ignored for now.

dh-python (3.20180723) unstable; urgency=medium

   * dh-python depends on python3-distutils (as most package that use dh-python
     would have to depend on it anyway, closes: 894203)

     - fix \.so.* symlink renaming for non-default Python versions
       (closes: 739500, 903698)
     - when files cannot be shared between Python versions because of
       differences, print (in --verbose mode) a unified diff for diagnostic
       purposes (closes: 801710, thanks to Barry Warsaw for the original patch)

   [ Piotr Ożarowski ]
   * pybuild: set DEB_PYTHON_INSTALL_LAYOUT to "deb" if it's not set already

dh-python (3.20180326) unstable; urgency=medium

   * pybuild.pm: add support for DEBPYTHON{3,}_{DEFAULT,SUPPORTED} env. vars
     (closes: 861132)
   * pybuild:
     - support cross compiling Python 3.X extensions (i.e. set
       _PYTHON_SYSCONFIGDATA_NAME env. and add dpkg-dev to Depends
       closes: 892931)
   * Standards-Version is 4.1.3 now (no changes needed)

       test step and remove them before install step
     * improve support for building multiple (Python) distributions at once
       (PYBUILD_NAME=foo dh $@ -Spybuild --sourcedirectory=dir1;
        PYBUILD_NAME=bar dh $@ -Spybuild --sourcedirectory=dir2)
     * add --print option to print pybuild's internal parameters
       (example: `pybuild --print build_dir --interpreter python3`)
     * add --ext-sub-pattern and --ext-sub-repl options (can be used f.e. to
       move some files from dist-packages to private directory)
     * if --name contains underscore, replace it with dash in suggested package
       names
     * try a bit harder to guess (if not explicitly requested) interpreter
       versions to build for, especially if versioned interpreter was requested
 
     WARNING: pybuild's internal dir names were changed, use --print if you
     really have to use these paths in debian/rules

2017

     - enable --test-{nose,pytest,tox} if appropriate pypy-* build

     - add interpreter to Depends if .so file is detected in private dir
       only if python{,3,all,3-all}-dev is in Build-Depends (closes: 811083)
     - use Build-Depends' minimum version for required libraries if other
       methods to detect it failed (closes: 791433)
     - --requires now tries to find given file in debian/pkg-name/ dir
       (`--requires foo/bar.txt` will try debian/python3-spam/foo/bar.txt and
       fall back to ./foo/bar.txt)
     - print an error if there's no package to act on
     - fix handling symlinks while moving files to common directory

     - remove (just before install stage) egg-info dirs generated in build_dir
       during test stage (closes: 803242)
   * Move libdpkg-perl from Depends to Suggests. python3 still depends on
     dh-python and we don't want to pull Perl when python3 is intalled

   * Add README.rst file

dh-python (2.20150826) unstable; urgency=medium

   * pybuild:
     - allow localhost connections (via no_proxy=localhost, thanks to
       Dimitri John Ledkov)
     - do not forward empty http{,s}_proxy env. vars - some tools do not like it
   * dh_python{2,3} and dh_pypy: skip packages with private modules that
     do not have apropriate ${*:Depends} substvar in Depends
     (-p/-N in debian/rules to select the right package is no longer needed,
     now you can select the right tool by adding substvar)
   * generate_fallback_list.py: add support for --ubuntu (requires
     python3-distro-info package, thanks to James Page for original patch,

dh-python (1.20140511-1) unstable; urgency=medium

   [ Piotr Ożarowski ]
   * pybuild: do not invoke clean commands for missing interpreters
     (and thus do not require all interpreter versions to be installed while
     building source package outside build environment, closes: 737091)
   * dh_python2: no longer moves files to /usr/share/pyshared if there's only
     one supported Python 2.X version and doesn't create /usr/lib/pyshared

     disable python3-dbg as well (closes: 735899)
   * pybuild's distutils build plugin: set install-scripts to /usr/bin by default
   * Test Python 2.7 only in test203 if /usr/bin/python2.6 is missing
     (closes: 727674)
   * Generate dependencies for minimum required interpreter version that are
     satisfied by alpha/beta/rc releases (i.e. generate ">= X.Y~")
   * pybuild build plugins: show executed command (not only in --verbose),
     closes: 733755

   * Do not translate X-Python{,3}-Version into Depends if there are no Python
     files in the package
   * pybuild's distutils build plugin: set --root only in install step.
