Team uploaded python-lzma - any hint how to deal with xz compressed files when using Python3
Hi, I assumed that the Python3 package would just have been missing in the Debian packaging and thus touched python-lzma. I learned that there are several syntax errors when trying to build with Python3 so this seems to be upstream orphaned code. Since I can not really imagine that it should be hard to deal natively with XZ compressed files when using Python3: Am I missing something and there is a competing module? Since I polished python-lzma I uploaded the package anyway with new Vcs fiels and other polishing stuff. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de

I am not sure what you are asking here, sorry. Something to do with the Debian packaging or whether there are other Python libraries for dealing with compressed files? If the latter, then debian-python is probably off-topic for such general Python questions, but diffoscope happens to be using libarchive.

-dbg vs -dbgsym compressed files when using Python3

please don't remove -dbg packages, -dbgsym packages are useless for us, AFAICT
(python{,3}-foo-dbg packages contain modules for Python debug
interpreter, something that -dbgsym packages do not provide)
