I added: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/python-modules/packages/enum34.git/commit/?id=ed2496b8582d939a8ad48769a8b513e916d9df5a which should handle deps to be automatically added by pybuild, which works. But when some packages requires enum-compat in setup.py: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/python-modules/packages/python-eventlet.git/tree/setup.py#n16 But even with this change you need to patch upstream code, see: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=881989 Without this patch, setuptools install deps fails (tries to download it from pypi). Build of eventlet doesn't fail, because it doesn't downloads requirements from pypi. But other packages which depends on eventlet fails. The proposed name also isn't really compatible with Debian Python > policies: you can't `import enum_compat` after installing it. > you can't, but enum-compat will be even more confusing. Because python-enum-compat will contain '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/enum_compat-0.0.2.egg-info i think python-enum-compat is correct. -- Best regards Ondřej Nový Email: n...@ondrej.org PGP: 3D98 3C52 EB85 980C 46A5 6090 3573 1255 9D1E 064B
