This __init__.py is included because it causes other breakage if removed. Please see a previous discussion on removing this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/van.pydeb/+bug/619294 That bug contains a test case which fails when the __init__.py is removed. Background reading on the breakage: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2009-May/011730.html Consistency in what is broken is probably more important than fixing one thing only to break another;) So I'd rather we didn't try fix this until the test case in the van.pydeb bug passes without the __init__.py. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/688335 Title: superfluous __init__.py generates import errors -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
