Package: python-cliff
Version: 1.4.5-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
setup.py defines the following requirements:
PrettyTable>=0.6,<0.8
pyparsing>=2.0.1
cmd2>=0.6.7
and I think binary packages should also have versionned dependencies.
python-cliff and its dependencies can be installed on Wheezy without any
rebuild provided cmd2 is updated to version >=0.6.7. Otherwise:
$ python -c 'import pkg_resources; pkg_resources.load_entry_point("cliff",
"cliff.formatter.list", "table")'
[...]
pkg_resources.VersionConflict: (cmd2 0.6.4
(/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages), Requirement.parse('cmd2>=0.6.7'))
This is also useful on testing/sid machines that have an outdated version of
python-cmd2. I use sid on my laptop and I'd get mad if I always had to do a
complete upgrade before installing any package.
I searched how to do and it seems easiest to add the following files:
$ cat debian/pydist-overrides
cmd2 python-cmd2; PEP386
PrettyTable python-prettytable; PEP386
pyparsing python-pyparsing; PEP386
$ cat debian/py3dist-overrides
cmd2 python3-cmd2; PEP386
PrettyTable python3-prettytable; PEP386
pyparsing python3-pyparsing; PEP386
Like this, no need to edit debian/* if setup.py updates versions of these
dependencies.
I checked on pypi and all these packages seem to respect PEP386.
For python-cliff, this produces:
python-prettytable (>= 0.6), python-pyparsing (>= 2.0.1), python-cmd2 (>=
0.6.7)
No idea why "python-prettytable (<< 0.8)" is missing
but it's probably not worth working around this.
Regards,
Julien
