[Bug 354205] [NEW] mapnik-python does not build against default python

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Devid Antonio Filoni (d.filoni):

I was simulating the upgrade from the packaged mapnik 0.5.1
(0.5.1-3ubuntu2) to the newly released mapnik 0.6.0 on Jauny (9.04
development branch) and noticed that python26 is the default Python on
jauny while the mapnik package gets installed in the 'site-packages'
folder of python2.5

Or at least this is what happened with the steps I followed which were:

$ sudo apt-get build-deps python-mapnik
$ sudo apt-get install python-mapnik
$ python
>>> import mapnik
# error not found

While the package likely should have been installed in
'/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages' it was rather installed in
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages'


I put the python2.5 spot on the PYTHONPATH then it worked.

Then I commenced installing mapnik 0.6.0 which went into
'/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages' and ran great.
