Package: python-debian Version: 0.1.13 Severity: wishlist Hi there,
I just uploaded python-debian to PyPI[0]. I need current versions of python-debian and due to bumped build-dependencies (like in this case python-support) and sometimes changed rules files backports often become a pain if the maintainers don't do them themselves. Thus I uploaded an egg there which I use with python-virtualenv. Now to the request: it would be nice if python-debian could switch to python-setuptools (from distutils) because the former is able to generate those eggs. The change is as simple as this and an additional build dependency: In setup.py change the import from from distutils.core import setup to from setuptools import setup . Additionally it would be nice if you could include the following two keyword arguments in setup.py: maintainer='Debian python-debian Maintainers', maintainer_email='pkg-python-debian-ma...@lists.alioth.debian.org', TIA, Philipp Kern [0] http://pypi.python.org/pypi?name=python-debian&version=0.1.13&:action=display -- .''`.
