Re: RFS: pytemplate
I have uploaded a new version changing the package name to python-pytemplate.

This should be made clear to readers of the package description; I think you've done alright with the full description as is for this purpose, but others might have different advice. -- \ “Jury: A group of 12 people, who, having lied to the judge | `\ about their health, hearing, and business engagements, have | _o__) failed to fool him.” —Henry L.

For instance, the ThreadTemplate class includes the methods needed to work with threads. When using it, you will declare a derived class of ThreadTemplate instead of picking out the functions that you want to use (as it is done in python-application). Of course, I am not suggesting this or that one is better. I just find that pytemplate can be less time consuming when writing small Python scripts.

Okay, so the implication in the current synopsis is misleading: the package is specifically for providing a starting framework for *writing a Python application*, not a generic template engine. So, I'd suggest a synopsis of: framework for writing Python applications > I hope this clears things up. Next question: what advantage does this have over other similar packages already in Debian?

Here is the long description of the package: pytemplate is a small project intending to give Python developers a starting framework. It allows them to properly create scripts without struggling with configuration files and logging properties development. These are already available through a main class that the new script will inherit. I hope this clears things up.
