We had a discussion a while back on the DPMT mailing-list [1]. Basically, pydap 3.x is a non-backward compatible rewrite of pydap 2.x. Both can be installed side by side since they use different namespaces (dap for pydap 2.x, pydap for pydap 3.x). Hence the introduction of a new source package to avoid difficult upgrades for pydap 2.x rdepends. [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2016/01/msg00139.html Ghis
