* Package name : python-guppy Version : 0.1.6 Upstream Author : Sverker Nilsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://guppy-pe.sourceforge.net * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python, C Description : object and heap memory sizing, profiling and analysis in Python Guppy-PE is a programming environment providing object and heap memory sizing, profiling and analysis. It includes a prototypical specification language that can be used to formally specify aspects of Python programs and generate tests and documentation from a common source. Modules which constitute the environment: - Heapy: debugging and optimization regarding memory related issues in Python programs - GSL (Guppy Specification Language): describes aspects of a system, especially its API, in a way that can be automatically converted to tests as well as to documents - Guppy: umbrella package combining Heapy and GSL with support utilities such as the Glue module that keeps things together. Comments: Heapy is somewhat an alternative to pysizer (http://pysizer.8325.org), which unfortunately wasn't developed recently. That is why I ITP guppy in favor over pysizer at the moment. I am still not sure what name should be. Debian python policy advises (uses verb "should", not "must") to use python-MODULE package name for public modules. But I am not sure if python- prefix is still worth its use, since we have debtags now. So at the end bin package name might simply change to guppy or guppy-pe. Any advice is welcome. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-1-686 Locale: LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R (charmap=KOI8-R) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
