Re: .egg in Debian summary?

  I don't think Debian should use the egg structure.

 Read and re-read the complete thread regarding .eggs in Debian and I cannot
 tell if any progress has been made.

 As just a package maintainer I was looking for the options to move
 forward. 

 1. Do nothing, go with the status quo as documented in the Debian python
 policy, which is no .egg's and unpackage everything into a sub-directory of
 site-packages.
 
 2. Investigate easydeb http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/easydeb/
 
 3. Using Phillip's .egg-info solution
 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.distutils.devel/2567
 
 Any others?

Re-approaching this topic. I'm still trying to get TurboGears (TG) packages 
and it requires .egg support.

Any progress on the technical direction Debian will take regarding .eggs?

  Hi people
  I debian/testing there's a deb package called just 'kid'. It's a very

  Debian's package 'kid' is for python2.3... so I'd maybe prefer calling it
  python2.3-kid.
 
  And there's no python2.4 version of this package...
  Although it's easy to install it using python2.4 setup.py install... it
  doesn't install 2.4's scripts properly.

 Officially, wait for DD to push it

 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338276

So it means debian's default version of python is 2.3 so everybody will 
use python 2.3 if he wants things working?

At first look I thought python packages in debian are called 
python2.3-packagename and python2.4-packagename. And that there's a 
metapackage python-packagename that requires the 2.3 version installed.

Now I see this is not so with all packages and it is hard to see which 
packages are present in python2.3 and missing in python2.4. 

would it be so difficult to rename the packages according to this scheme?

Examples:

I'll return to the package kid... what I would expect is:
* the package would be python2.3-kid instead of just 'kid'
* meta package python-kid would depend on python2.3-kid
* meta package kid would depend on python-kid (for backwards compatibility)
(* later there could be a new package called python2.4-kid)

Then there's also package python-wxgtk2.6:
* as it's actually python2.3 version, I would rename it python2.3-wxgtk2.6
* metapackage python-wxgtk2.6 depending on python2.3-wxgtk2.6
* what about python-wxgtk (?)
(* again, we would be prepared for python2.4-wxgtk2.6)


So... what do debian folks think about it?

Pavel

Re: when and why did python(-minimal) become essential?

 Sorry, but there's a whole new generation of Debian developers here that
 simply won't develop anything in perl, just because perl looks too
 complex and cryptic to us. Now, with bash, perl and python, we can deal
 with the scripting needs for at least a few releases; trying to
 anticipate what will happen later is pure speculation.

I'm in that category too.  Perl has always looked crazy to me.
Scheme, anyone?
