The current version of PySol in both testing and unstable ships the Python source in the package, but does not build from it, and does not include any easy way to do so. Instead, it ships a single precompiled .pyc file supplied by upstream, which, according to README.SOURCE in the source package, is created by concatenating all the source files and running the result to force Python to compile it. This approach has several problems:
* Difficult to fix bugs (see bug 237035 for an example). * No way to verify that the compiled bytecode corresponds to the source. * If this version is released, it would be difficult to perform security updates for it. For these reasons, pysol should be removed from testing until this problem is solved. - Josh Triplett (Please CC me on replies; I am not subscribed to debian-release.)
