Hi, TLDR: Both are the same, providing the "socks" module. We should remove one of them. Maybe renaming the other to python-socks.
Longer story: Recently, I upgraded the outdated python-socksipy package. This involved following a new upstream. Later I was informed, that the new upstream was already packaged under the name python-pysocks. Questions: - shall we remove one of the package? (proposal: yes) - which of the two packages should be removed from Debian? (proposal: remove pysocks, just because socksipy is older) - shall the other package provide dummy transitional packages? (proposal: yes) - shall we rename the binary package to python-socks? (proposal: yes) Any ideas or opinions? TIA & Cheers
