python-uniconvertor breaks help("modules") in python

2008-11-24 Thread Andreas Wenning
Hi fellow pythonians
(CC to debian-mentors)

I have a bug[1] against my package[2] that it breaks running help("modules") 
in python when the package is installed (more precisely, it kills the python 
interpreter when trying to import the package).

It looks to qualify for having a severity grave[3] as it "makes unrelated 
software on the system break". Can anyone with more insight into the policies 
advice me if I should consider doing something special for lenny?

Thx,
Andreas

One first try could be to ask release team (mailing
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) to accept the latest version in sid into lenny,
but the chances are high the won't approve it.

So, the best approach could be to create a patch from the latest
package against the version in lenny, and then prepare an upload
targetted to testing-proposed-updates.
