I'm not sure if there is actually any not too complicated solution that handles all cases perfectly. E.g. your suggestion would leave the problem of not having python-argparse installed when using the ipython2.6 program. What about: - Depends: "python (>= 2.7) | python-argparse" (stop always pulling in python2.6 in wheezy) - Suggests: python-argparse (gives the few people using ipython2.6 a hint what to install) That would make the dependencies less broad in the common case [1], while also expressing what is also needed for more obscure funstionality. > Thanks, > Ritesh cu Adrian [1] This is equivalent to python2.7 providing python-argparse. -- "Is there not promise of rain?"

* Ritesh Raj Sarraf , 2012-01-08, 13:08: argparse was included in python2.7 Please change the argparse dependency to python (>= 2.7) | python-argparse The same change also makes sense for the build dependencies. This will not install python-argparse needed for the 2.6 variants. The only really satisfying option is adding explicit ipython2.6 packages which I'm not going to do that as 2.6 will disappear at some point and packaging is complex enough as is. How about using "python (>= 2.7) | python-argparse" in Depends and "python-argparse" in Recommends or Suggests? The current Depends doesn't guarantee that ipython is usable with non-default Python version anyway (e.g. you don't depend on python2.6, you have little control over versions supported by your dependencies, etc.). It is my opinion that argparse should revert the 2.6 only change That said, I agree that the argparse 2.6-only change should be reverted. -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I only heard one comment from Julian. I think if python (>= 2.7) could just provide python-argparse, this issue would be resolved.

The only really satisfying option is adding explicit ipython2.6 packages which I'm not going to do that as 2.6 will disappear at some point and packaging is complex enough as is. It is my opinion that argparse should revert the 2.6 only change instead of forcing everyone else to update their packages for no valid reason. The better way to phase out python-argparse is to wait until python2.6 removal and then let python provide it (like ubuntu did). To get rid of the harmless pkg-ressources warning one could remove the 2.7 symlinks from the package. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Source: ipython Version: 0.11-2 Severity: normal The unconditional dependency on python-argparse always pulls in python2.6. argparse was included in python2.7 Please change the argparse dependency to python (>= 2.7) | python-argparse The same change also makes sense for the build dependencies. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
