Veritying non-breakage in a Python 3 library installed as a distro repo package (Debian Testing)

All I've done so far after installing a Python 3 library through the Debian Testing package manager, is fire up the command interpreter and use an import statement on it. So far, no signs of breakage. Are there more rigorous tests I can use to verify the library's integrity, at least in terms of any bugs that were purely passed on from the library's maintainers and not introduced by the package maintainers?

Use the latest version of python

Code:

python --version

Python 3.6.4

You don't say what your plans are. If all you want is basic python functionality

Code:

>>> a = 1

>>> b = 2

>>> print ((a) + (b))

3

>>> import time

>>> for i in range(1, 6):

...    time.sleep(1)

...    print (i)

... 

1

2

3

4

5

If you are going to use python then you will probably want to install some modules like urllib for example.

Code:

>>> import os, time, urllib.request

>>> user_agent = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:57.0) '

...                'Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0'}

>>> url = [

... 'http://www.one.com', 

... 'http://www.two.com', 

... 'http://www.three.com'

... ]

>>> a = int(1)

>>> for i in url:

...    req = urllib.request.Request((i), data=None, headers=user_agent)

...    print (req)

...    time.sleep(1)

...    a = int(a+1)

...
