Package: python-empy Version: 3.3-6 Severity: normal When working with some external software, I came across a problem where the distutils / distribute infastructure would not notice python-empy was installed (`pip freeze` did not list it). This would prevent me from running the other program with an error
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: empy even though the python-empy package was installed and could work. After downloading and rebuilding python-empy with modern debian build tools, this problem went away.
