Hello,This message serves as a summary of an off-list interaction between Gioele Barabucci and myself regarding the packaging status of python-rembg. To ensure proper documentation I am posting the key findings here.
----- BEGIN FINDINGS ----- 1. Package status Current status of the package: * rembg passes the entire salsa-ci pipeline [1] * I identified pymatting as missing dependency, causing a ModuleNotFoundError, which I will package separately. * The included pytest was deactivated, as it requires external models to run. [2] 2. Investigation on model downloads We investigated the automatic model download to ensure DFSG compliance. * A review confirmed that nothing triggers an automatic download during the build phase * While the source code (specifically in rembg/sessions) contains download_models methods that use pooch.retrieve , these paths are not executed during the build. An example of said download method can be found here. [3] ----- END FINDINGS -----Taking all findings in account we must conclude that rembg is eligible for the main repos, as no model is downloaded during build time.
Furthermore patching the download_models methods is no longer needed [4] This bug has been blocked by the pymatting ITP to document dependencies.
