Package: python-chm Version: 0.8.4.1-1 Severity: normal Tags: newcomer patch upstream
Dear Maintainer, pychm has not been ported to Python3 by its author. The project on Github is at least sleepy (last commit 3 years ago). I submitted a pull request for a Python3 patch with no response. I would propose that the patch be used to generate a new version of the package, compatible with python2 and 3. My motivation for this is that I am using pychm for extracting text from chm files for Recoll, which is moving to full Python3 compatibility. https://github.com/dottedmag/pychm/pull/5 Most of the volume of changes in the patch is in the generated files, and due to the change of Swig version. The "manual" changes are reasonably limited and straightforward. jf -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages python-chm depends on: ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u3 ii libchm1 2:0.40a-3+b2 ii python 2.7.13-2 python-chm recommends no packages. python-chm suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
