build-depends-on-python-dev-with-no-arch-any

The given package appears to have a Python development package (python3-dev, python3-all-dev or pythonX.Y-dev) listed in its Build-Depends or Build-Depends-Indep fields, but only Architecture: all packages are built by this source package. Python applications and modules do not usually require those dev packages, so you should consider removing them in favour of python3, python3-all or pythonX.Y.

If you are building a Python extension instead, you should have development packages listed in Build-Depends, but normally there should be at least one Architecture: any package.

The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.163. That is the most recent version we know about.

- # The build dependency on python-dev stems from the running of tests which will build extensions or programs that embed CPython. Only the builder arch needs to be installed.
