Package: python
Version: 2.3.5-11
Severity: normal
pyversions finds installed versions of Python with the glob
/usr/bin/python[0-9].[0-9]. python2.4-minimal contains
/usr/bin/python2.4, so if python2.4-minimal is installed but python2.4
is not, pyversions will consider Python 2.4 to be installed, causing
python-central (and presumably also python-support) to compile modules
for Python 2.4.
Since only a minimal Python 2.4 environment is actually available, this can
fail (in particular, files with a -*- coding -*- will fail to compile, since
the encodings package is missing).
I believe this is the cause of bug#379709 in python-docutils. docutils
contains files with -*- coding: utf-8 -*-, which python2.4-minimal is
unable to compile.
My suggestion would be to exclude -minimal Python versions from
pyversions output and only show installed "full" versions, so
site-packages modules will only work with "full" Python installations.
If a site-packages module really does need to be available for use with
python2.4-minimal, pyversions and python-central could gain an option
--include-minimal or something for this purpose.
