I understand the problem of having both python-chardet and python3-chardet in the same package but this problem doesn't exist in Debian, so I can't rely to this to bring python-charade into Debian. Don't think Debian just don't care about it, but having two similar projects in the archive demands a cost, so we have to illustrate advantages clearly. > It's still being improved and we are adding new encodings as well, so > your effort to add it to the Debian repositories was not in vein.

Enhancements in python-charade is a very good point to bring it into Debian, and I undelined your enhancements for this reason. I don't have a lot of time at the moment but I will try to devote a bit of time to help! > Just thought I'd give you the short story as to why requests uses (and > loves) charade, and give you some more reasons for arguing your case > in the future. Many thanks for your words! I will keep an eye to this ITP.
