difference between .deb contents and installed package

[mrfricks]

hi,

i have a question about how ubuntu installs python packages. if i install for example 'openshot' , i get amongst other things, an openshot folder in /usr/lib/pymodules.

however, if i just undeb the openshot package and look inside, i don't see anything in /usr/lib/modules.

so what happens when ubuntu installs the openshot package? is there a parse script that adds the extra files?

cheers

This would be a good starting point.
man dpkg

unzipping the .deb in ubuntu i now see the parse script thanks
