Public bug reported: Please package the Python library **PLTable** as `python3-pltable` in Ubuntu.
## Upstream Project: PLTable PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/PLTable/ Upstream release: **1.1.0** License: **BSD-3-Clause** PLTable is a Python table-formatting library derived from PTable, which itself originated as a fork of PrettyTable. PLTable provides functionality that is not available in the currently packaged PrettyTable implementation, including additional Unicode table- rendering support and additional table export functionality. In particular, PLTable provides the `UNICODE_LINES` table style and the `BOX_CHARS` API. ## Current Ubuntu situation Ubuntu 26.04 currently provides: ```text python3-prettytable 3.16.0-1build1 ``` but does not provide a `python3-pltable` package. The existing `python3-prettytable` package is not API-equivalent to PLTable. On Ubuntu 26.04, the installed `prettytable` module reports: ```text __version__ = 3.16.0 UNICODE_LINES = False BOX_CHARS = False ``` and the `pltable` Python module is not available. For example: ```python import importlib.util print(importlib.util.find_spec("pltable")) ``` returns: ```text None ``` Therefore `python3-prettytable` cannot satisfy software requiring the PLTable API. ## Debian status There is currently no Debian package for PLTable. A Debian WNPP Request For Package has already been filed: **Debian Bug #1146867** https://bugs.debian.org/1146867 The Debian RFP requests packaging of PLTable for Debian. ## Request Please consider packaging PLTable for Ubuntu as: ```text python3-pltable ``` Preferably this should be introduced through Debian and subsequently imported into Ubuntu, in accordance with the normal Ubuntu packaging workflow. This request is specifically for the PLTable project and is not a request to rename, replace, or modify the existing `python3-prettytable` package. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: needs-packaging -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2166605 Title: [needs-packaging] Please package PLTable as python3-pltable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2166605/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
