Bug#860882: [package:python-passlib] Generated egg version is invalid. Breaks Ansible runs.

[Aurelien ROUGEMONT]

Hello there,

First of all sorry about the failed reportbug-ng reports for python-passlib. 
Here is the real bugreport.


in the __init__.py the debian package bulding process pushes this version

 __version__ = '1.7.0.post20170421091442'

This version is not parsable by ansible. In the project's setup.py you can find 
this :

 # by default, stamp HG revision to end of version
 if os.environ.get("PASSLIB_SETUP_TAG_RELEASE", "y").lower() in "yes y true t 
1".split():
     # call HG via subprocess
     # NOTE: for py26 compat, using Popen() instead of check_output()
     try:
         proc = subprocess.Popen(["hg", "tip", "--template", "{date(date, 
'%Y%m%d%H%M%S')}+hg.{node|short}"],
                                 stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
         stamp, _ = proc.communicate()
         if proc.returncode:
             raise subprocess.CalledProcessError(1, [])
         stamp = stamp.decode("ascii")
     except (OSError, subprocess.CalledProcessError):
         # fallback - just use build date
         stamp = time.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S")

     if version.endswith((".dev0", ".post0")):
         version = version[:-1] + stamp
     else:
         version += ".post" + stamp

     # to have the correct version string
     from passlib._setup.stamp import stamp_distutils_output
     stamp_distutils_output(opts, version)

So basically this tiny patch brings the lib back to a parseble version

What do you think ?

Currently in stretch the python-passlib (1.7.0-1) when you build the package you get versions like # modify version # subclass build_py & sdist so they rewrite passlib/__init__.py
