Package: libpython3.5-stdlib Version: 3.5.2-2ubuntu0~16.04.1 Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer, If I "import test" python imports a module from the stdlib which did not exist in 2.7. Looking at this module it seems to: * Contain tools for running tests on the python interpreter during development * Be undocumented (on https://docs.python.org/3/contents.html) * Be unsupported (see https://bugs.python.org/msg84955) If I try an environment where python was installed from source, this module is not present: docker run --rm -ti python:3.5-alpine python -c 'import test; print(test.__file__)' This effectively squats the "test" namespace for other modules. This seems to affect any python3.X version -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers xenial-updates APT policy: (500, 'xenial-updates'), (500, 'xenial-security'), (500, 'xenial-backports'), (500, 'xenial') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-34-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libpython3.5-stdlib depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-8 ii libc6 2.23-0ubuntu5 ii libdb5.3 5.3.28-11 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2ubuntu2 ii libmpdec2 2.4.2-1 ii libncursesw5 6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1 ii libpython3.5-minimal 3.5.2-2ubuntu0~16.04.1 ii libreadline6 6.3-8ubuntu2 ii libsqlite3-0 3.11.0-1ubuntu1 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20160213-1ubuntu1 ii mime-support 3.59ubuntu1 libpython3.5-stdlib recommends no packages. libpython3.5-stdlib suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
