[Emmanuel Arias]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Emmanuel Arias <***@debian.org>
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-***@lists.debian.org, ***@debian.org

* Package name : python-deadlib
Version : 3.13.0
Upstream Contact: Jeong, YunWon
* URL : https://github.com/youknowone/python-deadlib
* License : PSF-2.0
Programming Lang: Python
Description : Python dead batteries

python-deadlib provides all dead batteries from Python.
.
This will help to packages that upstream does not remove the dead
modules form their code.
.
I plan maintain it under Debian Python Team umbrella. If anyone
found any concern about this package, please let me know.

Hi,

I guess the rough plan is to create +/- one binary target per module.

But not for distutils.

And not for cgi & cgitb ... we have "python-legacy-cgi" which is striving:
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=python-legacy-cgi

Maybe not other completely useless modules. (pipes ?)

Instead of blacklisting each module we don"t need
it would be better to whitelist the ones we do need;
in the wiki for example.

I need telnetlib ;-) (I will gladly let this override #1084736)

Greetings

I think somebody (you?) recently want to vendor pipes to fix something, or
maybe it was fixed in a different way instead?

I remember a thread that discussed using shlex in place of pipes. I believe
it was pipes.quote -> shlex.quote or so.

Hi,

The package were I vendored "pipes" is pairtools.

I reverted my change in pairtools and will prefer DeadLib from now.

Most of the consumers of DeadLib seems to be in Multimedia Team,
we should give them a head's up.

Greetings
