This information is intended for package mantainers.

First of all, thanks for packaging this software! If you encounter
any issues which you think should be fixed upstream, please report
a bug or send a patch, I'll be happy to accept it if it makes sense.

Notes
=====
This is a collection of notes about what might be of interest,
related to packaging.

Python fork
-----------
kdev-python currently contains a fork of Python 2.7.2 with some custom
adjustments. The fork is contained in the python-src/ subdirectory.
Only the parser of that fork is being built, and the language plugin
links against the resulting library. You can currently NOT replace
that library by the vanilla libpython.so library.
I'm aware that this situation is very undesirable, and measures have
been taken to get rid of the fork: With the release of Python 3.4,
the fork can be removed.

documentation_data directory
----------------------------
This directory does NOT contain user documentation for the plugin.
It MUST be packaged together with the program, as it contains runtime
data which is necessary for the program to work correctly (such as
representations of python's built-in data types, which are then read
by the parser etc.).
