Bug#639347: RFA: psyco -- Python specializing compiler

2011-08-26 Thread Alexandre Fayolle
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the psyco package, as I no longer use the package and
cannot maintain it properly anymore. 

Due to lack of upstream support, maybe the package should be removed from
Debian altogether, as supporting python  2.5 will require significant effort.
Any feedback on this regard is welcome. 

The package description is:
 Psyco lets you run your existing Python software much faster, with no
 change in your source.
 .
 Think of Psyco as a kind of just-in-time (JIT) compiler, a little bit
 like Java's, that emit machine code on the fly instead of
 interpreting your Python program step by step. The result is that
 your unmodified Python programs run faster.
 .
 The plan for the next release is to include a fast low-level
 interpreter that can be used on non-Intel processors. It will finally
 make Psyco portable -- although of course not as fast as it could
 possibly be if it could emit real machine code.

 Great.  My packages are very old, haven't tried the newest version yet,
 but you're welcome to them.  Hmm, they're living on a machine which is
 not currently on the net...  Will get everything to you ASAP.

Thanks a lot. 

 Unfortunately, Aster requires MUMPS, and my MUMPS packages are held up
 by bugs 491105 and 491028 in blacs and scalapack.  

I'll give these a look tomorrow

 I could just restrict 
 it to MPICH and LAM, but would rather have an OpenMPI version, or one
 using mpi-default-(dev|bin), as neither MPICH(1) nor LAM is currently
 maintained by upstream.

Would packaging mpich2 in Debian help ?

 I wish to adopt this package. I have been following the PyPy project

You are very welcome to do so. Please tell me if you need help. 

 I think I have a beefy enough computer to compile PyPy in a

Bug#354012: RFA: python-xml -- XML tools for Python [dummy package]

2006-02-22 Thread Alexandre Fayolle
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the python-xml[1] package.

The package description is:
 The Python/XML distribution contains the basic tools required for
 processing XML data using the Python programming language, assembled
 into one easy-to-install package.  The distribution includes parsers
 and standard interfaces such as SAX and DOM, along with various other
 useful modules.
 .
 The package currently contains:
 .
  * XML parsers: Pyexpat (Jack Jansen), xmlproc (Lars Marius
Garshol), sgmlop (Fredrik Lundh).
  * SAX interface (Lars Marius Garshol)
  * minidom DOM implementation (Paul Prescod, others)
  * 4DOM and 4XPath from Fourthought (Uche Ogbuji, Mike Olson)
  * Schema implementations: TREX (James Tauber)
  * Various utility modules and functions (various people)
  * Documentation and example programs (various people)

Reverse dependencies include fonttools, gdeskcal, gdesklets, imgseek,
memaid-pyqt, python-davlib, qm, revelation, rubrica, zope. 

I'm no longer using python-xml for my daily development, and as a
consequence, I feel I'm not doing as good a job as I should on the
python-xml package. I'm therefore considering passing maintenance to
someone else, or co-maintaining the package. 

The packaging itself is pretty straightforward, but

  * upstream is not very active

  * some long lasting bugs[2] are fixed in upstream cvs, but the fix might
  break other packages depending on the bug, so I'm a bit reluctant to
  add a patch which could lead to debian shipping a pyxml-0.8.4 package
  which would behave differently from other distributions

  * xbel is part of the debian package, but is essentially unmaintained
  by upstream (not a problem for the DTD, but one for xbel-utils
  scripts, which I don't use and have been the only one to change
  in upstream CVS during the past years). Additionnally, xbel
  has been moved to it's own separate project[3], so maybe it
  makes sense to move it to its own source package. I'm not sure
  how this should be done, debian-wise.

 It extends class defined in the compiler.ast [1] module with some

 builder object, which can either generate extended ast (let's call
 them astng ;) by visiting an existant ast tree or by inspecting living
 object. Methods are added by monkey patching ast classes.

This package contains code that was in python-logilab-common, and which
upstream split in a new library. The newest pylint package uses the new
code.

Bug#206691: Sponsoring python-matplotlib

Hi,

I need to get matplotlib in Debian for some application at work, and I'm
willing to sponsor one of the packages announced on the bugreport, as
I'd hate to duplicate some work. Are there any opinions about which
version is more suitable for upload? I've been using Vittorio's package
for some time and it works fine. 

This ITP has been running for far too long with no upload.

 Well I think the Vittorio's package is the most suitable to upload, at 
 least that was my conclusion last time I checked. However there is some 
 problems to solve:
 - I am not able to build the package on two of my computers, I am not 
 sure if it is a problem of the package or a problem on my side.
 - The package needs an internet connection to be build (actually to 
 download the documentation), this violate the policy.
 - The package does not include the sources of the documentation (a .pdf 
 file), so this it could only go to non-free.

Thanks for the quick and detailed answer. 

 
 
 This ITP has been running for far too long with no upload.
 
 I agree. I think a package could be uploaded very soon, if the build 
 problem is solved. About the documentation, I suggest to simply remove 
 it until a solution is found.

I'll try to look into this over the next week end. Removing
the documentation and pointing people in the README.Debian to the web
site seems a good compromise to me in order to get the package in the
archive rapidly.

Hello Jack,

If you are Vittorio's usual sponsor, I think it will be easier for him
have a single contact to upload his work on Debian. On the other hand,
I can understand that you may have too little time for this, and in
this cas, I'll gladly step in to sponsor matplotlib. Juste tell me what

 Psyco lets you run your existing Python software much faster, with no

 Think of Psyco as a kind of just-in-time (JIT) compiler, a little
 bit like Java's, that emit machine code on the fly instead of
 interpreting your Python program step by step. The result is that
 your unmodified Python programs run faster.
 .
 The plan for the next release is to include a fast low-level
 interpreter that can be used on non-Intel processors. It will
 finally make Psyco portable -- althought of course not as fast as it
 could possibly be if it could emit real machine code. Right now, only
 the i386 architecture is supported.
