Package: python-stats
Version: 0.6-8
Severity: serious
python-stats provides 3 top level modules, one of which has the same
name as a stdlib module. This will make it hard to import (stdlib comes
first in the default sys.path), and can confuse other (broken) packages
(i.e. #620087)
$ dpkg -L python-stats
/usr/share/pyshared/pstat.py
/usr/share/pyshared/stats.py
/usr/share/pyshared/io.py
Can I suggest:
* Removing io.py from the module. (Is it necessary?)
* Moving the modules into a stats submodule (I can't see any rdepends, but
python-gamera will soon depend on it)
Keeping python-stats will not be necessary; maybe just use the copy included in
gamera, and then file a request to remove the package from unstable.
* or removing it (Someone else wants this name: #606633)
even if the package is removed, using the same name for something new may lead
to other incompatibilities.
