Package: quodlibet
Version: 2.1-2
Severity: normal
quodlibet is installed as a module or package into python's
site-packages. Being there requires certain etiquette, and QL is
certainly not following it:
In the python interpreter, you can use the help function to get info on
modules. This will import all modules in site-packages and look at them
superficially. A good module should manage that.
Here is what happens with quodlibet installed:
>>> help()
Welcome to Python 2.5! This is the online help utility.
[.. snip ..]
help> modules
Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...

(In addition, a tk window is opened.)
Summary: This is bad. If quodlibet is not fit for being installed in
dist-packages, it should stay out of there.
This disrupts python module browsing, discovery and apropos searches.
