* Package name : pusimp Version : 0.1.0 Upstream Contact: Francesco Ballarin <francesco.balla...@unicatt.it> * URL : https://github.com/python-pusimp/pusimp * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : prevent user-site imports pusimp is a python library to prevent user-site imports of specific dependencies of a package. The typical scenario for using pusimp is in combination with a system manager (e.g., apt for Debian), to prevent dependencies from being loaded from user-site instead of the location provided by the system manager. We designed pusimp with in mind the specific use case of the FEniCS project. It happens often that users post messages at the FEniCS discourse forum https://fenicsproject.discourse.group/ asking why their ubuntu/debian installation is not working correctly, and several times this is due to the presence of user-made installation attempts in user-site locations. We thus initially plan to use pusimp in the python3-dolfin and python3-dolfinx packages, but the logic behind pusimp is purposely simple and general. The package will be maintained at https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/pusimp in collaboration with my sponsor Drew Parsons and the Debian Python Team
