I am installing Pylons in Aptitude and noticed that MySQL is one of the automatic dependencies to be installed. It appears that the responsible package is python-webpy which recommends python-mysqldb.
Webpy does not require a database connection. Therefore I believe the correct dependency is Suggests. Should I file a bug report for this? I never reported an issue like this so I want to be sure I'm getting this right. BTW: I'm also not sure why Pylons depends on webpy. Webpy isn't mentioned in the Pylons Install Guide (http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonsdocs/Installing+Pylons) and an Easy Install of Pylons doesn't pull it in. I know nothing yet about Pylons and so could be completely wrong on this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
