Opinions on pychecker bug 137320?

2003-09-10 Thread Kenneth Pronovici
Hi, I've taken over the pychecker package from Arto Jantunen, and I'm looking over the remaining bugs. One of the three is #137320: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=137320 It requests that the Pychecker modules be installed in the Python search path, so they can be imported,
