Hello, As the upstream maintainer of pythondialog, I feel a bit concerned about its status in Debian, in particular about what is going to go into jessie. In short, I'd rather see the package removed from Debian than stay in the current status.
The package that is currently in unstable is terribly outdated (the version dates from 2004), has a few bugs, supports neither Unicode correctly nor Python 3, contrary to current upstream versions, not to mention a bunch of features including help and extra button support, easy pythondialog and backend version checking, autowidgetsize and the new Sphinx-generated manual[1]. In case someone is interested, I've prepared a package of the latest version for Python 3, using dh, dh_python3 and pybuild, following the suggestions given on the Debian Python wiki (which is nice to have, thank you!). It has been built on current sid and is available in the following GPG-signed APT repository: deb http://people.via.ecp.fr/~flo/debian unstable main deb-src http://people.via.ecp.fr/~flo/debian unstable main (along with other packages, don't upgrade blindly if you add the repository to your sources.list) Thanks [1] http://pythondialog.sourceforge.net/doc/ -- Florent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
