Package: python3-libtorrent
Version: 0.16.17-1
Severity: important

Hi,

I do not believe that the package should ship the python3 module until
it is usable. This upstream bugreport is relevant:

https://code.google.com/p/libtorrent/issues/detail?id=449

At the very least the package should express somewhere that the python3
module ships with severely limited functionality. To reproduce the
error, either save the state of a session as in the upstream bugreport:

        import libtorrent as lt
        ses = lt.session()
        ses.listen_on(6821, 6831)
        ses.save_state()

Or try to load a torrent from a file:

        import libtorrent as lt
        with open("my.torrent", "rb") as f:
                content = f.read()
        e = lt.bdecode(content)

Both will result in UnicodeDecodeError which makes the module not usable
for its intended purpose.


cheers, josch
