I am not experienced enough with Python packaging to respond to your other questions, but I do know that many Python packages pull from github or gitlab when thinks like tests are missing from PyPI, so you should feel free to do so when needed. > - Man pages are missing - the tools doesn't respond to -h or --help, I > suppose this is an upstream request, or are there any other ideas on > that? > > - Others? > > /Simon > > Simon Josefsson <si...@josefsson.org> writes: > > Package: wnpp > > Severity: wishlist > > Owner: Simon Josefsson <si...@josefsson.org> > > X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, debian- pyt...@lists.debian.org > > > > * Package name : python-grpclib > > > > Version : 2.0.0b7 > > Upstream Author : Vladimir Magamedov, et al > > > > * URL : https://github.com/vmagamedov/grpclib > > * License : BSD-3-Clause > > > > Programming Lang: Python > > Description : Pure-Python gRPC implementation for asyncio > > > > This is a Pure-Python gRPC implementation for asyncio. > > > > https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-grpclib > > > > /Simon -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
