Package: python-whois
Version: 0.6.4-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
it looks like this package won't work on a default Wheezy install
(ie. with python-2.7).
In whois/_1_query.py it tries to import simplejson, which by default
is not installed:
"""
if PYTHON_VERSION >= 3:
import json
else:
import simplejson as json
"""
You should add an explicit dependency on simplejson and (better) try
to import json and then fallback on simplesjson.
Cheers, Luca
