Package: python-pylons
Version: 0.9.5-6
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.1

python-pylons installs its unit tests, complete with an __init__.py, to
/usr/share/python-support/python-pylons/tests and (implicitly) asks
python-support to compile them; not only does this waste (a small
amount) of resources, it leads to effective conflicts with similarly
broken packages such as python-boto at present:

Setting up python-boto (0.9a-1) ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/update-python-modules", line 294, in ?
    process(basedir,install_modules(py_installed))
  File "/usr/sbin/update-python-modules", line 162, in process
    func(basedir, dir, file)
  File "/usr/sbin/update-python-modules", line 129, in

    raise "Trying to overwrite %s which is already provided by
    %s"%(os.path.join(dir,file),otherdir)
Trying to overwrite tests/__init__.py which is already provided by 
/usr/share/python-support/python-pylons

Could you please either leave the tests off altogether or ship them as
documentation rather than passing them off as library modules?

Thanks!
