SVN access for Urwid, Templayer

2006-08-22 Thread Ian Ward

Hello,

I am hoping to get svn access to python-modules so that I can help to 
maintain the Urwid and Templayer packages.  My Alioth account is 
wardi-guest.

RFS: urwid (updated package)

2006-08-23 Thread Ian Ward

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.9.6-1
of my package "urwid".

It builds these binary packages:
python-urwid - curses-based UI/widget library for Python

The upload would fix bug #382991

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/u/urwid
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable 
main contrib non-free

- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/u/urwid/urwid_0.9.6-1.dsc

I would be pleased if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards,
Ian

Re: RFS: templayer (updated package)

2006-09-27 Thread Ian Ward

Sorry, missed the upstream changelog (no changes to packaging):

  * Added a django_form convenience function for using Templayer
with the Django web framework's FormWrapper objects.

  * Added an allow_degenerate parameter to Template.__init__.  If
set to True then a template file that is missing a contents
block will be accepted and not cause an exception to be raised.

  * Added a special layer name '*' that treats the entire contents
of a template file as a layer.

  * Added two new HTML Markup elements:
- ('pluralize',count,singular_markup,plural_markup) inserts
  singular_markup if count equals one, and plural_markup
  otherwise.
- ('&',entity) inserts the given HTML entity where valid
  entity values include "gt", "#161" and "#xA9".

  * FileLayer.close now returns the file object to which it wrote.
This simplifies the code required to use Templayer in Django
view functions.

  * Fixed a really obvious bug in the html_href function.

RFS: python-urwid - Console UI Library for Python

2006-04-21 Thread Ian Ward

Hello,

I am looking for a sponsor for the python-urwid debian packages I have 
created.


Urwid is a console user interface library for Python.  It has a number 
of features that that are not available in similar libraries.  See the 
Urwid web site for full details:

http://excess.org/urwid/

Urwid is written in pure python and is arch-independent.  I have 
packaged versions for python2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, and I've made them 
available in an apt repository on excess.org.


A number of people have already packaged Urwid for other distributions 
and operating systems.  It would be great to see it in unstable too.


Let me know if you can help.

Regards,
Ian Ward

Sure, but I am not a debian developer.. should I create a guest account 
on alioth?



I have packaged versions for python2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, and I've

I think a better option would be to use python-support to make a single
deb that supports all python versions. I intend to do that once urwid
enters debian. More info here:


I suggest on the contrary to do that before it enters Debian so that the
ftpmaster do not create packages that will disappear shortly after and so
that you don't have an upgrade path to handle.


My understanding of debian packaging is quite limited. I tried to create 
packages the same way I saw another python library packaged. If the 
python-urwid package that enters the debian repositories is different 
than what I have created, how do I transition people that are using my 
repository to the new python-support way?  Do I even have to?


I would like to continue to support people that aren't running debian 
unstable with packages for python2.1 (and python2.4 for ubuntu)

What is the source code for tutorial.html? Debian requires source code
where it exists (see the DFSG/social contract). Perhaps you could
release 0.9.3.1 with the source code for tutorial.html (and
reference.html if it has source). Preferably, the setup.py should build
these from their source.


I've never tried using setup.py to generate documentation.  Could you 
point me to an example of a module that does this?


The script that generates the tutorial has an external dependency: 
another module I've written called "templayer".  If the doc source files 
are included, would all users installing Urwid have to get templayer and 
build the docs as part of the install?   It would seem more reasonable 
to add templayer to the build-depends and include the pre-built docs 
with the standard package.


Let me know if I should submit templayer for inclusion.

For 0.9.3, feel free to drop the docs for now since they are not 
DFSG-Free until we get these source-building issues sorted out.


When I do make a new release, does debian-python need any kind of 
notification?


Nope, just the maintainer(s). If you use freshmeat, we can subscribe to
the freshmeat releases.


That works. It's registered as python-urwid in freshmeat.

RFS: Templayer - HTML Templating Library for Python

2006-05-02 Thread Ian Ward

Hello,

I am looking for a sponsor for the Templayer Python library I have
created.

Templayer differs from the many other templating libraries available for 
Python in that it doesn't try to mix HTML into Python code, or Python 
code in HTML documents.  I feel that its template files are cleaner and 
easier to maintain than other options I have seen.


I use this library for HTML generation in a number of my own projects 
including the Urwid library, recently packaged by Paul Wise.


Templayer is available at: http://excess.org/templayer/

Templayer is licenced under the same licence as Python itself. I 
understand that this is now discouraged, so I may relicence it as LGPL 
instead.


Let me know if you can help.

Regards,
Ian Ward

Hello Ian,

I've taken a look. First, there's no direct link to the source package.
With some manual url manipulation I arrived there
(http://excess.org/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/) but it's easiest
for a potential sponsor to just provide a direct link to a dir
containing all relevant files.

Second, the location misses the file that's referenced in the .dsc:
python-templayer_1.1.tar.gz. That means I can't unpack your source
package. Make sure you always provide a .dsc, and the files mentioned in
the .dsc's "Files" section.

Third, the package seems to be Debian Native, i.e. one tarball which
includes all Debian packaging, instead of an orig.tar.gz + .diff.gz.
Please see this useful posting for details on why not to package
software as Debian-native that isn't really Debian-specific:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/02/msg01194.html



Ah, I was hoping noone would look at the package I built :-).

When Paul Wise was kind enough to repackage my Urwid libraries I learned 
that I was not creating packages the way I should be.


I've put the dsc and tarball that I used to create the debian packages 
on excess.org up (such that they are):

http://excess.org/templayer/python-templayer_1.2.dsc
http://excess.org/templayer/python-templayer_1.2.tar.gz

The packages I've made have separate deb files for each version of 
python (python2.1-templayer, etc.) and one python-templayer package that 
is empty but depends on python2.3-templayer.

Is there anything else I can do to help this package along?  Updating 
Urwid to 0.9.4 won't be done until Templayer is (re)packaged.
