request to join pmpt

2006-09-20 Thread Kevin Coyner

Hello

I'd like to join the python-modules packaging team.

I've just sent out a RFS for the package 'rls' and also already
maintain 'htmlgen', both python packages.  I also have another
python related package in the pipeline.

Also, could someone please take a look at the patch I submitted
against the RC bug (#380852) for the package 'lfm'.  The patch
updates lfm to current python policy.  If it looks o.k., I'd
appreciate seeing the patch applied and perhaps NMU'd.

My Alioth login is rustybear-guest.

Thanks for everything!

Kevin

RFS: rpl -- intelligent recursive search/replace utility

2006-09-20 Thread Kevin Coyner

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.5.4
of my package "rpl".  The package was recently orphaned.

It builds these binary packages:
rpl  - intelligent recursive search/replace utility

The package is lintian/linda clean and builds just fine in pbuilder
sid.

The upload will close my ITA bug #388131.  Otherwise there are no
other bugs against the package.

I've added the Debian Python Modules Team as Uploaders.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/rpl
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/r/rpl/rpl_1.5.4.dsc

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

Many thanks
 Kevin Coyner

I suspect the package python-htmlgen would qualify, and the other
new package I'm working on, which I haven't even ITP'd yet and is a
module to generate HTML calendars, will also.

Cheers,

RFS: pyexcelerator - module to create spreadsheets

2006-10-18 Thread Kevin Coyner

Dear friends,

I am looking for a sponsor for a new package "pyexcelerator".  This
package creates a python module that can be used for creating and
reading Excel spreadsheet files.  I use it in a couple websites to
create Excel files on-the-fly, which can then be downloaded.

The package is lintian/linda clean and builds fine in a pbuilder sid
chroot.

* Package name: pyexcelerator
  Version : 0.6.3a-1
  Upstream Author : Roman V. Kiseliov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyexcelerator
* License : BSD
  Section : python

It builds these binary packages:
python-excelerator - module for reading/writing Excel spreadsheets
py_xls2txt - simple utility to convert xls files to txt files
py_xls2csv - simple utility to convert xls files to csv files
py_xls2html - simple utility to convert xls files to html files


The upload will close this bug: 384093

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pyexcelerator
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/pyexcelerator/pyexcelerator_0.6.3a-1.dsc

I would appreciate it if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards
 Kevin Coyner

unicode in setup.py file causing RC bug

2007-05-07 Thread Kevin Coyner

I maintain the package rpl, which today received an RC bug

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=422604

because it FTBFS in an autobuild on Lucas.

The reason it failed is due to the use of unicode for the author's
name in the setup.py file.

distutils (for the setup.py file) is part of python
which is part of the python module distutils.

I see two options for fixing this:

1. Remove the unicode from the author's name and spell it using
ascii.

or

2. Reassign the bug to the main python package.

I'm not much in favor of #1 because we should be able to get
names correct.

I favor #2 as it does seem to be a bug in python. I found the
following regarding the bug:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03007.html

So just looking for a little guidance in case I missed something
before I proceed.

Thanks
Kevin

Thanks for the responses, but that line was already present in
my setup.py when Lucas generated the FTBFS bug. The first two lines
were:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

Is this not an issue with any other python package? Still thinking
of reassigning this bug ...

Thanks,
Kevin

Python2.4 is available in testing and unstable.  It's just not in the
current stable.

I'm not sure where you are seeing this build dependency.  Since it
appears you are using stable, then looking at:

http://packages.debian.org/stable/web/konqueror

and I don't see any dependencies on python.


> distutils => python 1.5

This probably is still in stable to maintain backwards compatibility to
older versions of python.  On the description page for distutils, it
says:

"Beginning with Python version 1.6 the distributions utilities are
included in the upstream Python source and can be found in the
python.-dev packages."
http://packages.debian.org/stable/interpreters/python1.5-distutils
