Re: Bug#653650: ipython: Please depend on "python (>= 2.7) | python-argparse"
* Ritesh Raj Sarraf , 2012-01-08, 13:08: argparse was included in python2.7 Please change the argparse dependency to python (>= 2.7) | python-argparse The same change also makes sense for the build dependencies. This will not install python-argparse needed for the 2.6 variants. The only really satisfying option is adding explicit ipython2.6 packages which I'm not going to do that as 2.6 will disappear at some point and packaging is complex enough as is. How about using "python (>= 2.7) | python-argparse" in Depends and "python-argparse" in Recommends or Suggests? The current Depends doesn't guarantee that ipython is usable with non-default Python version anyway (e.g. you don't depend on python2.6, you have little control over versions supported by your dependencies, etc.). It is my opinion that argparse should revert the 2.6 only change That said, I agree that the argparse 2.6-only change should be reverted. -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I'd have to patch the source to do the same for missing argparse. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Fwd: (forw) Re: Future of python2.6 in Debian (python-newt)
Hi,
Thanks to Christian for forwarding this. python-newt uses a depends line
that generates:
amckinstry@debian:~/deb-packages/newt/newt-0.52.14/debian$ cat
python-newt.substvars
python:Versions=2.6, 2.7
python:Provides=python2.6-newt, python2.7-newt
python:Depends=python2.7 | python2.6, python (>= 2.6), python (<< 2.8),
python (>= 2.6.6-7~)
shlibs:Depends=libc6 (>= 2.1.3), libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6~), libnewt0.52,
libpython2.6 (>= 2.6), libpython2.7 (>= 2.7), libslang2 (>= 2.0.7-1)
misc:Depends=
The ${python:Depends} is fine, but ${shlibs:Depends} generates
dependencies on libpython that are superfluous,
as well as the necessary libslang, libnewt dependencies. I _could_ drop
the ${shlibs:Depends} and replace it with
just 'libnewt0.52', (the libc and libslang dependencies will be pulled
in from it), but I suspect it would be best
to somehow tell debhelper that I don't need libpython*.
Any ideas?
please CC: me in any response as I'm not currently subscribed to
debian-python

There's one issue which is not listed there but into which I ran into on
i386 recently:
python-newt depends on libpython-2.6 since very recently only and only
on some architectures. Noticed it, because it wants to pull in
python2.6 again. See also http://packages.debian.org/sid/python-newt
