Bug#1025068: ITP: prefixdate -- Prefix date parser
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Edward Betts X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, debian-python@lists.debian.org * Package name: prefixdate Version : 0.4.1 Upstream Author : Friedrich Lindenberg * URL : https://github.com/pudo/prefixdate * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : Prefix date parser This is a helper class to parse dates with varied degrees of precision. For example, a data source might state a date as `2001`, `2001-4` or `2001-04-02`, with the implication that only the year, month or day is known. This library will process such partial dates into a structured format and allow their validation and re-formatting (e.g. turning `2001-4` into `2001-04` above). . The library does not support the complexities of the ISO 8601 and RFC 3339 standards including date ranges and calendar-week/day-of-year notations. I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.
Updating python-pint, and python-pint vs python-babel
Hi folks The version of python-pint currently in sid is not compatible with the version of python-babel, with the version of babel being too new. The result is that pint currently FTBFS in sid: #1022469. The pint package has received a substantial update from its upstream authors. This new version of pint is still _not_ compatible with babel>2.8 but does sort out some problems with babel. A couple of tests need to be xfailed with a patch to let it build. That's a clear indication that we're ignoring problems not solving them, but it's better than the current situation of not having pint in bookworm at all. The advantage of updating python-pint is that it is closer to working with the babel we have in sid. Updating pint also permits other packages to build (like superqt). I've got updated packages for python-pint (0.20.1-1) and superqt (0.4.0-1) ready to upload. It's not perfect but seems like a step forward. Thoughts? cheers Stuart -- Stuart Prescotthttp://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7
