Hi Thanks for the explanation and describing exactly the way how I have done it. I dont have a problem with it :) Still it is not the "standard" way to install python modules inside linux distributions - and that was all I wanted to say with it. (beside that installing it with pip installs the modules in /usr/local/lib whereas a distribution package installs them to /usr/lib)
Of course you can always assamble it somehow. But still (as a lot of other modules are packaged for distributions) one would expect to have a distribution package ready - which is not the case for debian stable (only for testing and unstable) So while it is easy for "us" installing it - some people might have never used pip and expect everything coming installed with the QGIS package. And for now I doubt the QGIS package installs the future module with pip. That was all I wanted to point out. kind regards Werner On 24/03/16 07:41, gene wrote: > "There is no "python-future" in debian stable" > > I don't understand your problem.
