# dh\_numpy(1)

adds Numpy depends to python:Depends substvar

## NAME

dh\_numpy - adds Numpy depends to python:Depends substvar

## SYNOPSIS

**dh\_numpy** \[*debhelper options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

dh\_numpy adds information about the correct versioned depends on python-numpy to python:Depends substvar.

This is needed because some Python extensions require strict versioned depends on python-numpy, and using this helper script is the easiest and most consistent way to get them.

The helper script uses the information stored in /usr/share/numpy/versions, and the architecture type of the package, to generate the Depends information; for a detailed description of how the dependencies are generate, please refer to /usr/share/doc/python-numpy/README.DebianMaints .
