Package: python3-unbound
Version: 1.8.1-1
Severity: important
The python/python3-unbound packages ship both unbound and unboundmodule python
modules. The unbound module seems to work (because the swig build for the
compile part is executed and then it is installed). Currenlty though
unboundmodule is completely non-functional. This is up to date sid:
Python 3.7.2 (default, Jan 3 2019, 02:55:40)
[GCC 8.2.0] on linux

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_unboundmodule'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_unboundmodule'
The same error occurs with python2.7, the only variation is that paths in the
error message are, of course, different.
Looking at the source, I see compilable code in pythonmod directory that looks
like it is intended to provide the missing _unboundmodule, but I don't see a
functional Makefile to build it (i.e. like libunbound/python/Makefile).
It looks to me like the 'unbound' module wraps libunbound while
'unboundmodule' is meant to wrap the unbound application, so they both look
useful.
It would be nice to make unboundmodule work, but if it's not going to work,
the package shouldn't ship it. My swig knowledge is approximately zero, so I
was unable to come up with a proper solution.
