Ah sorry, I only posted to the debian list the first time around.  Added a
CC to the parted list this time as I thought it might be a better place to
ask.

Debian unstable provides v0.11 of python-parted which claims to be 1.6 
compatible.

So what does that mean to me in practical terms?  I'm not entirely sure 
what a "constructor" is.

Thanks,

Support for Python2.1 and Python2.2

2003-09-09 Thread Andreas Rottmann 
Hi!

I wonder how long source packages that build binary packages for
multiple versions (2.{1,2,3}) should continue to build packages for
the old Python versions. IMHO, this should be documented somewhere
(Policy?). Is there any timeline how long Python 2.2 and 2.1 should
stay in the archive?

Regards, Andy

they stay as long as they are needed.

- python2.1 is needed at least by zope and jython

- python2.2 is needed at least by zope (2.6.2) and jython2.2 (currently
  alpha) and probably more packages.

- python1.5 should have gone a long time ago ... Debian won't be the
  python museum on the net. I'll propose it's removal after the next
  release.

I think there is no need to talk about in the policy.

zope 2.6.2 in Debian?

2003-09-09 Thread Matthias Klose 
Now that 2.6.2 is released:

- will you switch to python2.2 as the python interpreter used?

- or maybe will you wait for 2.7 to be released, which uses
  python2.3?

Well, zope-2.6 officially requires python-2.1, although it mostly runs
on python-2.2.  So, until major packages like zope move on, I think that
python-2.1 will remain.

Zope-2.7 requires python-2.2.3, but that release of zope is still in
beta. So, I am guessing it will be a while before 2.1 is dropped, never
mind 2.2.

Would it still be needed in sarge if zope2.6.1 & jython were built
against python2.2?

It's not a case of jython building against python 2.2 (in fact, it
doesn't build-depend on any version of python at all).  It's a case of
jython providing a java implementation of python 2.1, and thus requiring
many of the .py files that python 2.1 supplies.
