Re: packaging pyreport
Hi Yaroslav and Jean, Sorry for the slow answer: I just came out of a score of deadlines and took a break from my computer. I personally believe that the IPython notebook, however great it might be, does not nullify the interest of pyreport. First, pyreport does not require any specific syntax or interface: it works on standard Python files. Second, it is very lightweight, whereas nowadays IPython is a biggish dependency. That said, I do way too many things, and I had decided that I stopped maintaining pyreport. It's a question of priorities, while it hurts me to see it die, I don't have time to maintain everything that I would like. Thus, I would be _very_ happy to see someone picking it up. It doesn't really need to be a fork in the sens that I am perfectly willing to give control of the github repo. The webpage is unfortunately hosted on my personal webpage, but I can assist in moving it to another location (I think that packages.python.org would be a good idea) and I can insert redirections on the current webpage. I would be thrilled to see this happening. I think that such a change of maintainer should happen before a Debian package is considered: in the current situation, I would not push people to use pyreport, as its future is uncertain. Thanks for the interest, Gael On Thu, Mar 01, 2012 at 11:47:41AM -0500, Yaroslav Halchenko wrote: > Hi Jean, Hi Gael, > I would recommend first to check with Gael (CCed) on what is his plans > toward pyreport... with the availability of ipython notebook I think he > might not be considering developing/maintaining pyreport any further. > Gael? > > Hi, > > I have been using pyreport for some time now and I would like it to be > > a part of Debian. > > As the official website says: > > "pyreport is a program that runs a python script and captures its > > output, compiling it to a pretty report in a pdf or an html file.

Re: packaging pyreport
so -- if you are keen on pretty much developing a fork further and maintaining existing codebase... packaging -- there is a bulk of tutorials on packaging (e.g. apt-get install packaging-tutorial), and you can kick start your packaging simply by adopting debian/ of another simple python module of your choice. >Hi Yaroslav, >Thanks for your reply. >I had asked Ga�l some time ago (less than one year I think) what his plans >for pyreport were.

Re: packaging pyreport
Hi Yaroslav, Thanks for your reply. I had asked Gaël some time ago (less than one year I think) what his plans for pyreport were. He had replied that he did not have any time to develop it anymore. However, I think that i have some ideas to maintain pyreport and I'm currently trying to add some features to repyreport, but this is not worth commiting them for the moment.

Re: packaging pyreport
Hi Jean, Hi Gael, I would recommend first to check with Gael (CCed) on what is his plans toward pyreport... with the availability of ipython notebook I think he might not be considering developing/maintaining pyreport any further.

packaging pyreport
Hi, I have been using pyreport for some time now and I would like it to be a part of Debian. As the official website says: "pyreport is a program that runs a python script and captures its output, compiling it to a pretty report in a pdf or an html file. It can display the output embedded in the code that produced it and can process special comments (literate comments) according to markup languages ( rst or LaTeX ) to compile a very readable document." You can find a complete description and some examples at: http://gael-varoquaux.info/computers/pyreport/ I would like to package this application but I do not have any skills in the packaging process yet. So if some people would be ready to give some advices, help or just write that they are currently using pyreport, that would be very nice ! I will send an ITP email and begin to create the package very soon. Thanks, Jean Felder -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
