Package: python3-aiocoap Version: 0.4.12-3 Severity: normal First of all, thanks for keeping the aiocoap package up to date!
Trying `python3 -m aiocoap.cli.defaults`, I found that a default install
does not pull in many packages that are optional from a Python package
point of view. Most of those would work well as Recommends in Debian --
`python3 -m aiocoap.cli.defaults` shows them as:
Modules missing for subsystems:
dtls: missing DTLSSocket
oscore: missing ge25519, lakers-python
linkheader: everything there
prettyprint: missing cbor-diag
ws: everything there
The "everything there" are just because I happen to have
those packages installed locally (websockets) or they are empty (and
retained for compatibility, linkheader).
The package currently has
Recommends: oscore, prettyprint, ws
Suggests: python-aiocoap-doc, tinydtls
where only python-aiocoap-doc is an existing package, and the rest is
not even Python packages but aiocoap optional features.
Of the missing subsystems, this is what IMO should be stated instead:
Recommends: python3-cryptography, python-filelock, python3-pygments,
python3-cbor2, python3-websockets (>= 13, < 16)
(For the python3-websockets, please consider using the latest release
0.4.14, which moved the requirement from >= 13 < 14 to < 16 which
includes testing's version 14).
To make all features fully available, we'd need extra Python packages in
Debian:
* ge25519 (transitively fe25519)
* lakers-python (transitively possibly Rust packages, mainly from the
same workspace)
* cbor-diag (transitively Rust packages: hexfloat2)
* DTLSSocket
I can help as upstream if there is any trouble with lakers-python and
cbor-diag (as contributor or maintainer, respectively); they both build
from Rust sources using PyO3 and maturin, which should be a well-trod
path. DTLSSocket builds from C and wraps tinydtls; might not be worth
the effort, I'd treat that more as a Suggests.
