Package: units
Version: 2.11-1
Followup-For: Bug #767864
Hello,
Thanks for maintaining units! Love it.
I have two suggestions,
1) Simply a refinement of Mike's proposal: Depend on or suggest
python-unidecode instead of python:all, it's compatible with Python
2 and 3, so this does the trick just as well.
2) Change units_cur a bit to avoid warnings from unidecode when trying
to decode simple ASCII strings. With that, I can run units_cur
every week or so as a cronjob without reading unidecode's
RuntimeWarning over and over again. Here's the patch (unified
diff):
