I'm not sure I understand your position. External tools are only permissible if Debian packages exist for them? And, it's not "core python", it's the Python documentation, which has always depended on external tools. The dependencies for CPython itself (the "python" executable) have not changed. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31036> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
