--- Begin Message ---Package: python-debian Version: 0.1.16 Severity: wishlist I want to parse a debian/control file and found no 'Control' object that represents a debian/control file. I had to create my own Crontol object that contains a list of Deb822 objects: def get_blocks(blocks, line): if line.strip() == "": blocks.append(list()) else: blocks[-1].append(line) return blocks lines = open("debian/control").readlines() blocks = reduce(get_blocks, lines, [[]]) self.blocks = map(debian.deb822.Deb822, blocks) Please add a Control object.

That simplifies my code. You can inspect wrap-and-sort in > ubuntu-dev-tools >= 0.102 (from experimental). Looks like iter_paragraphs did the trick. Feel free to reopen or file a new bug if we need some special handling for control paragraphs. Thanks, -- John Wright <[email protected]>
