I already plan to port my debianmemberportfolio service to Python3 and
Pyramid or Django later this year. I have experience with both but think
that Pyramid is a bit more lightweight and I don't need a ORM and many other
Django features.

Paul already suggested to merge debianmemberportfolio with db.debian.org but
I did not have time to evaluate that option yet.

Hello Brian,

python-pika depends on Twisted which is Python 2 only, upstream supports
Python 2 only too. The Pika documentation has a statement "Currently pika
only supports Python 2.6 and 2.7. Work to support 3.3+ is underway."

Talk on Debian packaging of Python, Python modules and Python extensions at PyCon DE

2011-03-28 Thread Jan Dittberner
Dear Debian Python people,

at Chemnitzer Linux-Tage [1] I talked to some guys who are organizing the first
PyCon DE [2] which will take place in Leipzig, Germany in October. They are
quite interested to get a talk on Debian packaging of Python, Python modules
and extensions. I would like to prepare and hold such a talk but would like
your feedback/input on what you would like to tell the Python development
community.

The organizers are especially interested in best practice recommendations for
Python developers to make the life of packagers easier.

They also asked me how Python itself is packaged. I will have a look at the
packaging but some kind of short summary of the most important things from your
perspective would be great.

I would like to give some best practice statements for Python module, Python
extension and Python application packaging too. From my point of view this
would include dh and dh_python{2,3}. I know there is cdbs and python-support
does exist too, should I include them?

I will suggest interested people to join DPMT, PAPT, debian-python@l.d.o and
tell them about #debian-python too.

Do you have more ideas about what should be said (or not said) there?

you might want to add

override_dh_auto_build:
python setup.py install --root=$(CURDIR)/debian/python-pykcs11 
--install-layout=deb

(The important part is --install-layout=deb).

Is there a mature git-buildpackage replacement for mercurial or bazaar?

There is a mercurial-buildpackage but I don't know how feature complete/
comparable to git-buildpackage or svn-buildpackage it is.

How well does debcommit work with mercurial or bazaar?

Would you mind maintaining it in the DPMT (Debian Python Modules Team) [1]

I would really like to have trac in DPMT (or more activity in the
current trac team). Maybe we could also coordinate to include
commithooks [1] which integrate darcs, mercurial and git with trac and
debbugs but should use trac's included post-commit scripts and
consists of some Python and bash scripts.

[1] http://git.complete.org/commithooks

I'm using trac and commithooks and would like to help with better
Debian support for both.

xlwt is in NEW since Wednesday (2009/01/07) [1], [2]

[2] http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/xlwt_0.7.0-2.html

If it's accepted I'll add work on the transition from pyexcelerator. This will
not fix the bug for Lenny though.
