Package: dh-python Version: 2.20160818~bpo8+1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
according to the setuptools documentation (https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html#declaring- dependencies), requirements can have multiple version specifiers, separated by commas. However, when guessing dependencies, and even when PEP386 is declared in pydist-overrides, only the first version specifier is looked at by the code in dhpython/pydist.py. This forces the package maintainer to manually copy the dependency over into the pydist-overrides or control files to ensure that the full constraint is included in the binary package. It would be handy if pydist were able to parse every version specifier in a given requirement. Perhaps this would also be a good task for a newcomer to work on. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (102, 'testing'), (101, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages dh-python depends on: pn python3:any <none> dh-python recommends no packages.
