Hello, I just updated cnvkit locally and found Michael's patch "Remove .py extensions as per Debian policy". I personally came to the conclusion that differences to upstream in the naming of binaries is detrimental for the acceptance of our distribution in the scientific community. Just, nobody wants to risk to have their larger scripts/workflows fail at some point because Debian does its own thing.
For cnvkit it seems particular unfortunate since conda already distributes it. And they with some good confidence do not care about .py suffices. So incompatibilities with the community at larger would be guaranteed. If we truly care about the removal of .py suffices then we should attempt to convince upstream about it. Other opinions? Best, Steffen
