Python packaging help.

Hi,

My name is Balasankar C. I am writing a module in Python and want to
package that for Debian. So, just to understand how packaging in python
work, I decided to package the module 'wget'. From my knowledge in
Ruby gem
packaging, I tried to package wget and pushed the result to
https://gitlab.com/balasankarc/python-wget . It has all three branches
(master, pristine-tar, and upstream).

Can anyone please take a look at it and give me your
comments on it. I tried to follow the StyleGuide as well as I
understood it.

ITP: bitstring -- Python module for manipulation of binary data

[Ghislain Vaillant]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Ghislain Antony Vaillant 

* Package name: bitstring
  Version : 3.1.3
  Upstream Author : Scott Griffiths 
* URL : https://code.google.com/p/python-bitstring/
* License : MIT
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Python module for manipulation of binary data


Long Description


Bitstring is a pure Python module designed to help make the creation and
analysis of binary data as simple and natural as possible.

Bitstrings can be constructed from integers (big and little endian), hex,
octal, binary, strings or files. They can be sliced, joined, reversed,
inserted into, overwritten, etc. with simple functions or slice notation.
They can also be read from, searched and replaced, and navigated in,
similar
to a file or stream.


Reasons for packaging
-

This package brings simple support for arrays of bits, is well documented,
and works very well. It provides similar functionalities to bitarray
(already packaged) but does not require any compiled c-extension.


Due to the nature of this package, it should probably be team-maintained by
the Debian Python Modules Team (DPMT).


Best regards,
Ghislain

Have you considered contacting upstream on [1] matter?

Not yet, but this is indeed a good idea. Will do.

Thanks Eugene,

Great package! Here are some comments that I have:

d/changelog:
-New packages should close an ITP bug. File one, and then put
"(Closes: #)" where # is the number of your bug.

d/control:
-You could add Vcs-Browser and Vcs-Git fields.
-Lintian gives the experimental warnings:
I: python-wget: captitalization-error-in-description python Python
I: python3-wget: captitalization-error-in-description python Python
However, this is a false positive within lintian. You should make a
d/lintian-overrides file to note this.

d/copyright:
-Even if a file is in the public domain, and so has no copyright, you
still need to put the author's name/year in the copyright field.

Other than that, I can't really see any problems. I'm not a DD, so I
can't sponsor your package, but good luck getting it into Debian!

Cheers,

Riley Baird

If it's a new package, it shouldn't be hosted on Google Code right now.
Or I'm missing something.
