* Package name : python-ly Version : 0.9.2 Upstream Author : Wilbert Berendsen <wbsoft (AT) xs4all.nl> * URL : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-ly * License : GPL-2+ Programming Lang: Python Description : Tool and Python library for manipulating LilyPond files This package provides a Python library `ly` containing various Python modules to parse, manipulate or create documents in LilyPond format. A command line program `ly` is also provided that can be used to do various manipulations with LilyPond files. . The LilyPond format is a plain text input format that is used by the GNU music typesetter LilyPond (www.lilypond.org). 1. Why is this package useful/relevant? Is it a dependency for another package? Answer: python-ly is needed for the Qt4-based LilyPond sheet music editor Frescobaldi 2.18 and above, which I intend to upload after python-ly is accepted. Debian currently has frescobaldi-2.17.2 where the functionality of python-ly was not yet separated out. 2. How do you plan to maintain it? Inside a packaging team? Yes, I intend to join the Debian Python Modules Team (DPMT) to have the python-ly source package reside on Alioth. Frescobaldi, which I co-maintain, is already inside the Python Applications Packaging Team (PAPT).
