[Bug 241920] Re: Remove diveintopython from default install
I would like to say one more thing... whether or not it’s a 4MB monster like DIP, I hope we can have some kind of beginning Python document or tutorial in the help files. I really enjoyed the fact that, in the Ubuntu help browser, “writing your own programs” is listed under “advanced topics.” My hope would be that kids who are first trying out Ubuntu might be curious enough to play around with programming and it could change their lives (or at least give them a valuable skill). Also, people who wouldn’t know they like programming may find themselves more inclined to do simple projects (at least in Python). Obviously, DIP meets neither goal since it’s already something for experienced programmers. But, if we could have some Python documentation there, showing you how to play with the interpreter and make your first program (and introducing functions, classes, loops, etc.), that would make me very happy. Internet references would be good, too, of course, but the documentation would have to contain enough so that a user in a remote village in Bangladesh could be on their way to being a Python pro before they can get to the nearest net café to learn more. That’s my 0.02 taka, anyway ;) IT skill is so important to social mobility these days that I think this fits well into the idealistic nature of Ubuntu. -- Remove diveintopython from default install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241920 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

(It's trivial either way of course, and I'll see if we can squeeze this into Intrepid; either way I'm happy to take care of the seed change.) -- Remove diveintopython from default install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241920 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

How cool it would be to have this applied. :) In any case it is a trivial patch to remove diveintopython from the desktop-recommends seeds. ** Attachment added: "ubuntu-meta_1.123.debdiff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18799423/ubuntu-meta_1.123.debdiff -- Remove diveintopython from default install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241920 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 241920] Re: Remove diveintopython from default install
To quote an e-mail from Mark on ubuntu-desktop@: +1 to removing it. It's there because I very much wanted to promote Python as a ubiquitous scripting language across Ubuntu. Initially we included Python interfaces for as much of the system as we could. I think that has been eroded over time given the pressures of disk space and the focus on non-developer users to the point where D-I-P is unnecessary. ** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Release Team (ubuntu-release) ** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Assignee: Ubuntu Release Team (ubuntu-release) => (unassigned) -- Remove diveintopython from default install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241920 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Silly me, I found it in the package diveintopython ironically enough! It is pulled in as a depend of ubuntu-desktop. I don't have any clue why however, seems like a waist of a little over 4 megabytes to me. :P ** Changed in: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged -- Remove diveintopython from default install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/241920 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I agree with this totally. It's a fairly significant size.
