I did look at python-mysqldb and python-reportlab. They can use 2.1. I didn't look at python-popy. > > 2.

Would it make sense to add a 'Replaces:' line for those packages without the '-egenix' part? I.E: Package: python-egenix-mxdatetime Replaces: python-mxdatetime Could you copy these packages to ftp-master.debian.org in ~doko/www/python-uploads? Thanks, Matthias
