Attempting to remove python-support?
Hi, now that Jessie has been released, and there's the intention to provide more support for Python 3 (e.g. paultag's mail to d-d-a), would it be time to start kicking out python-support from Debian as well? According to lintian, there should be about 500 packages still using python-support in a way or another, either (build)-depending on it or invoking dh_pysupport in debian/rules I think we reached the point whether lintian won't allow to reduce the number of packages considerably (the checks are in place for more than one year and a half, IIRC). Would it be better to start filing a MBF against the affected packages, so we can focus better on the target? I'd be available to identify the affected packages and eventually filing all the bugs.

python3-xlib lost in Debian
Today I try to install a software - youdao dict. First I try it in vmware machine: Linuxmint and Ubuntu. It can succeed! But when I do it in Debian , it fails ; And the reason is the lost of python3-xlib. So I search in the web page of Debian: this package is not contained by Debian Jessie or Squeeze!They only have a package named python-xlib. The same to Ubuntu , it has. What happens about this package? mudongliang -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
