In Sid there is a package python3-pyds9 but it seems this disappeared in Jessie. How do I get ds9 package for Python in Jessie?

The package didn't disappear from Debian 8 (Jessie), it wasn't part of the release.python-pyds9 (which provides the python3-pyds9 package) builds just fine on Debian 8, so the easiest way to do this is (currently):sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install devscripts debhelper dh-python python{,3}-setuptools python{,3}-sixdget http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/python-pyds9/python-pyds9_1.8.1-1.dsccd python-pyds9-1.8.1dpkg-buildpackage -us -ucThis will:install the packages necessary to download, extract and build the python-pyds9 source,download, verify and extract the source package,and build the binary packages.You'll find the resulting python-pyds9_1.8.1-1_all.deb and python3-pyds9_1.8.1-1_all.deb packages in the parent directory.
