I am, kinda by accident, one of the maintainers of the PyPI package 'mecab-python3' (https://pypi.org/project/mecab-python3/) which provides an identical API to the existing Debian package 'python-mecab' (it's based ultimately on the same SWIG interface definition written by MeCab upstream), but, because it ships that SWIG interface definition instead of code generated from it, it actually supports Python 3.
I have a need for Debian-packaged Python 3 bindings for MeCab for my day job, and so I have taken the liberty of preparing an update of python-mecab based on this PyPI package. You can find a complete set of source and binary packages at https://research.owlfolio.org/scratchpad/debian/ . I am not a Debian developer or maintainer, and don't particularly want to be one, but if one of you would like to check my work and upload these packages, with any changes you feel are appropriate, to the official archive, I would appreciate it. (This would close bug #719466 , but I may have forgotten to say so in the changelog, sorry about that.) zw _______________________________________________ Python-modules-team mailing list [email protected] https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/python-modules-team
