Package: python
Version: 2.5.2-2
Severity: wishlist

Yodel!

(Filing this with python because the Python policy is in this package.  I 
don't know if this should be in pythonX.Y or in python-support or in 
python-central or in python-whatever...)

Python packaging should interact with Debian packaging.

I'm just learning Python and Turbogears and wanted to use the not packaged 
tgcrud, after having installed python-turbogears.

Installing tgcrud (http://svn.turbogears.org/projects/tgcrud/tags/1.0)
as per spec 
        "python setup.py install --prefix /usr/local"
(as user after giving write permissions to the relevant dirs in /usr/local), 
it installs tgcrud plus all dependencies.  At least in the cases of 
turbogears and simplejson it used the exact same versions that were already 
installed as Debian packages.

As far as I understand, these installation programs are pretty much a 
packaging system in their own right, so the missing bit in the Python 
policy would be to export the data about installed modules from the dpkg 
database to Python's package database.

cheers

thanks

packages using distutils install this meta data as egg-info files/directories. there is no more information needed. if turbogears doesn't use this information, then please file a bug for turbogears.
