RFS: python-notify2
Hi all, I'd like to request sponsorship of a new package, python-notify2. This is intended as a replacement for pynotify (aka notify-python, python-notify), so it broadly copies the API from that package, although it's not a drop in replacement. Why is a replacement needed? - notify2 is compatible with Gtk 3 and Qt 4. pynotify can't even be imported in the same process as the gobject introspection bindings for Gtk 3, and its callbacks depend on the Gtk 2 event loop. - notify2 is compatible with Python 3; pynotify probably can't easily be made to support Python 3. - notify2 has useful docstrings and function signatures for introspection - Getting things wrong with pynotify can easily segfault your process. notify2 should just raise a Python exception. - notify2 is written in Python, not C, so it's shorter, more readable, and easier to maintain. A few points I'd like to ask about: - The tests: Running the tests during the build requires dbus and a notification daemon, which in turn requires an X server running. I've come up with a recipe that works in a pbuilder, but is it suitable for the autobuilders, and is there a better way to do it? - Examples: There are a handful of examples. At present, these end up in both of the binary packages, under /usr/share/doc//examples/ . I tried to put them in a separate python-notify2-docs package, but then the folder was in /usr/share/doc/python-notify2-docs, which doesn't seem right. Can I easily make a -docs package but keep the folder name python-notify2? - X-Python[3]-Version: I don't know what the minimum Python version required is. It doesn't use any new language features. Should I leave these fields out, copy them from dbus-python (the key dependency), or put the minimum I'd consider fixing things for (2.6/3.1)?

Re: warning: package python-gdcm: unused substitution variable ${python:Versions}

I do wonder however if there is a good reason for dh_python{2,3} to
still generate *:Version substitution variables.
is it safe to drop it?
I wouldn't do that at this point of the release cycle. But after the
wheezy release, it should be harmless.
(i.e. is it used only in XB-Python-Version, as it should?)
ISTR seeing "XS-Python-Version: ${python:Versions}"... :]

Some grepping in the lintian lab should be able to answer that.

is it safe to drop it? (i.e. is it used only in XB-Python-Version, as it
should?)

Hi there,
I am starring at the following warning:
warning: package python-gdcm: unused substitution variable ${python:Versions}
Ignore the warning.
In the old days you would add "XB-Python-Version: ${python:Versions}" to
binary package stanzas in debian/control, but we deprecated this
practice. See Python Policy §2.3.
I do wonder however if there is a good reason for dh_python{2,3} to
still generate *:Version substitution variables.

warning: package python-gdcm: unused substitution variable ${python:Versions}
[CC me pls]
Hi there,
I am starring at the following warning:
warning: package python-gdcm: unused substitution variable ${python:Versions}
My package reads as:
$ cat d/control
Source: gdcm
...
X-Python-Version: 2.7
...
Package: python-gdcm
Section: python
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}, ${python:Depends},
libgdcm2.2 (= ${binary:Version})
Provides: ${python:Provides}
Should I explicitly uses ${python:Versions} somewhere ? It seems it is
working out of the box nicely:
$ dpkg -I ../python-gdcm_2.2.0-12_amd64.deb
...
Provides: python2.7-gdcm
Thanks
