ImportError running 'test' on namespace package - other package in namespace not found
by Jason R. Coombs 17 Apr '20

17 Apr '20

I've got two projects: mynamespace.myprojectA and mynamespace.myprojectB myprojectB depends on myprojectA. I'm using setuptools 0.6c8 to manage both projects. Both projects are registered using 'setup develop'. Both projects are accessible from an interactive interpreter: PS C:\Users\me\projects> python Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 21 2008, 13:11:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import mynamespace.myprojectA >>> import mynamespace.myprojectB >>> from mynamespace.myprojectA import mymoduleZ However, when I run 'setup test' in myprojectB, the tests fail with File ".mymoduleZ.py", line NNN, in [some context] from mynamespace.myprojectA.mymoduleZ import MyClassC ImportError: No module named myprojectA.mymoduleZ In setup.py, the test_suite is nose.collector. I searched and couldn't find anyone else with this problem. Is this a supported configuration? Is there something I can do to make tests work with interdependent projects with the same root namespace? If there's not something obvious I should be doing differently, I'm happy to put together a minimal test case that reproduces the problem. Any suggestions are appreciated. Sincerely, Jason R. Coombs

Upgrading dependencies
by Charlie Moad 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Is it currently possible to upgrade dependencies as well when upgrading a packages? If not, this would be a really nice feature to add to easy_install. Maybe a call like: easy_install --upgrade --upgrade-deps Package Obviously it makes sense to leave this off by default. Thanks, Charlie

Changes to --find-links and --upgrade in SVN
by Phillip J. Eby 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Elvelind Grandin reported a problem with the "develop" command that turned out to be a flaw in its --find-links support. Specifically, it wasn't ever processing the links. :) In the process of fixing it, I wound up cleaning up an annoying (to me, at least) quirk of the previous workings of --find-links. It used to be that find-links would always be processed first, no matter what, even if you were doing a completely local operation. This would've been especially annoying if it carried over into "develop", so I made some changes. Now, if an item passed to --find-links is local (a filename or file: URL), or a direct link to an egg or other distribution, it is indexed immediately. Remote URLs are now only retrieved if a dependency can't be resolved locally, or if you use the -U or --upgrade options (this goes for "develop" too). Note that this is a behavior change for easy_install, which was effectively treating --find-links as though you'd specified --upgrade in certain cases. So, if you're used to getting upgrades downloaded as a result of using --find-links, please note that this will no longer happen. EasyInstall will now *only* go online if a dependency can't be resolved locally, if -U or --upgrade is used, or if you provided suitable direct URLs via an argument or --find-links, or via a link in a local .html file.

local development scenarios

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm new to distutils/and the egg system. I have not researched the archives as much as I should, so please excuse me if this is familiar territory... Q: Is it possible for dependency checks to work for non pipy deployed eggs? - A.egg - B.egg (setup_requires and install_requires A.egg) - email A and B eggs to friend - tell friend to : easy_install B - but B.egg does not install A...in fact, in my test case, it fails b/c it cannot find A in pipy - in this example, what happens if friend does not have net connection on target machine? how can they install from the eggs alone and get the dep checking to work? Q: How does my friend run the unittests on the egg that they have just installed? As I am developing, I frequently run the unittests and after every bdist_egg build, I also run the unit tests that way, too. How can the consumer do the same? Q: One of my apps is a command line app, say foo.py is a command line app that takes arg1, arg2,... How can the user run this app when it is encased in an egg? Q: How do I define my own pipy? While I like the idea of deploying there for the overall community, I don't want to send my half baked code into the wild. But I'd like to try the general functionality of having a deploy site for my beta customers. How can I set this up?

Choice of dependencies?
by John J Lee 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Is it possible for a package to depend on one of several packages, with the user having the option to pick? For example, my package P might depend on package A, plus either package B or package C. I know I could (ab)use extras_require, but in my case this is a real dependency rather than an optional extra. The other option I have is to just pick one of the dependencies (B or C in my example above), and thereby force people to install it even though it's not strictly required. Neither option seems particularly attractive. John

Sample setup.py for Numeric Python
by Greg Ward 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Hi again -- [cc'd to Paul Dubois: you said you weren't following the distutils sig anymore, but this directly concerns NumPy and I'd like to get your input!] here's that sample setup.py for NumPy. See below for discussion (and questions!). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #!/usr/bin/env python # Setup script example for building the Numeric extension to Python. # This does sucessfully compile all the .dlls. Nothing happens # with the .py files currently. # Move this file to the Numerical directory of the LLNL numpy # distribution and run as: # python numpysetup.py --verbose build_ext # # created 1999/08 Perry Stoll __rcsid__ = "$Id: numpysetup.py,v 1.1 1999/09/12 20:42:48 gward Exp $" from distutils.core import setup setup (name = "numerical", version = "0.01", description = "Numerical Extension to Python", url = "http://www.python.org/sigs/matrix-sig/", ext_modules = [ ( '_numpy', { 'sources' : [ 'Src/_numpymodule.c', 'Src/arrayobject.c', 'Src/ufuncobject.c' ], 'include_dirs' : ['./Include'], 'def_file' : 'Src/numpy.def' } ), ( 'multiarray', { 'sources' : ['Src/multiarraymodule.c'], 'include_dirs' : ['./Include'], 'def_file': 'Src/multiarray.def' } ), ( 'umath', { 'sources': ['Src/umathmodule.c'], 'include_dirs' : ['./Include'], 'def_file' : 'Src/umath.def' } ), ( 'fftpack', { 'sources': ['Src/fftpackmodule.c', 'Src/fftpack.c'], 'include_dirs' : ['./Include'], 'def_file' : 'Src/fftpack.def' } ), ( 'lapack_lite', { 'sources' : [ 'Src/lapack_litemodule.c', 'Src/dlapack_lite.c', 'Src/zlapack_lite.c', 'Src/blas_lite.c', 'Src/f2c_lite.c' ], 'include_dirs' : ['./Include'], 'def_file' : 'Src/lapack_lite.def' } ), ( 'ranlib', { 'sources': ['Src/ranlibmodule.c', 'Src/ranlib.c', 'Src/com.c', 'Src/linpack.c', ], 'include_dirs' : ['./Include'], 'def_file' : 'Src/ranlib.def' } ), ] ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ First, what d'you think? Too clunky and verbose? Too much information for each extension? I kind of think so, but I'm not sure how to reduce it elegantly. Right now, the internal data structures needed to compile a module are pretty obviously exposed: is this a good thing? Or should there be some more compact form for setup.py that will be expanded later into the full glory we see above? I've already made one small step towards reducing the amount of cruft by factoring 'include_dirs' out and supplying it directly as a parameter to 'setup()'. (But that needs code not in the CVS archive yet, so I've left the sample setup.py the same for now.) The next thing I'd like to do is get that damn "def_file" out of there. To support it in MSVCCompiler, there's already an ugly hack that unnecessarily affects both the UnixCCompiler and CCompiler classes, and I want to get rid of that. (I refer to passing the 'build_info' dictionary into the compiler classes, if you're familiar with the code -- that dictionary is part of the Distutils extension-building system, and should not propagate into the more general compiler classes.) But I don't want to give these weird "def file" things standing on the order of source files, object files, libraries, etc., because they seem to me to be a bizarre artifact of one particular compiler, rather than something present in a wide range of C/C++ compilers. Based on the NumPy model, it seems like there's a not-too-kludgy way to handle this problem. Namely: if building extension "foo": if file "foo.def" found in same directory as "foo.c" add "/def:foo.def" to MSVC command line this will of course require some platform-specific code in the build_ext command class, but I figured that was coming eventually, so why put it off? ;-) To make this hack work with NumPy, one change would be necessary: rename Src/numpy.def to Src/_numpy.def to match Src/_numpy.c, which implements the _numpy module. Would this be too much to ask of NumPy? (Paul?) What about other module distributions that support MSVC++ and thus ship with "def" files? Could they be made to accomodate this scheme?

Can now compile simple extensions
by Greg Ward 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Hi all -- at long last, I found the time to hack in the ability to compile extension modules to the Distutils. Mainly, this meant adding a 'build_ext' command which uses a CCompiler instance for all its dirty work. I also had to add a few methods to CCompiler (and, of course, UnixCCompiler) to make this work. And I added a new module, 'spawn', which takes care of running sub-programs more efficiently and robustly (no shell involved) than os.system. That's needed, obviously, so we can run the compiler! If you're in the mood for grubbing over raw source code, then get the latest from CVS or download a current snapshot. See http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/implementation.html for a link to the code snapshot. I'm still waiting for more subclasses of CCompiler to appear. At the very least, we're going to need MSVCCompiler to build extensions on Windows. Any takers? Also, someone who knows the Mac, and how to run compilers programmatically there, will have to figure out how to write a Mac-specific concrete CCompiler subclass. The spawn module also needs a bit of work to be portable. I suspect that _win32_spawn() (the intended analog to my _posix_spawn()) will be easy to implement, if it even needs to go in a separate function at all. It looks from the Python Library documentation for 1.5.2 that the os.spawnv() function is all we need, but it's a bit hard to figure out just what's needed. Windows wizards, please take a look at the 'spawn()' function and see if you can make it work on Windows. As for actually compiling extensions: well, if you can figure out the build_ext command, go ahead and give it a whirl. It's a bit cryptic right now, since there's no documentation and no example setup.py. (I have a working example at home, but it's not available online.) If you feel up to it, though, see if you can read the code and figure out what's going on. I'm just hoping *I'll* be able to figure out what's going on when I get back from the O'Reilly conference next week... ;-) Enjoy -- Greg -- Greg Ward - software developer gward(a)cnri.reston.va.us Corporation for National Research Initiatives 1895 Preston White Drive voice: +1-703-620-8990 Reston, Virginia, USA 20191-5434 fax: +1-703-620-0913

Two fixes (at last)
by Greg Ward 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Hi all -- at long last, I have fixed two problems that a couple people noticed a while ago: * I folded in Amos Latteier's NT patches almost verbatim -- just changed an `os.path.sep == "/"' to `os.name == "posix"' and added some comments bitching about the inadequacy of the current library installation model (I think this is Python's fault, but for now Distutils is slavishly aping the situation in Python 1.5.x) * I fixed the problem whereby running "setup.py install" without doing anything else caused a crash (because 'build' hadn't yet been run). Now, the 'install' command automatically runs 'build' before doing anything; to make this bearable, I added a 'have_run' dictionary to the Distribution class to keep track of which commands have been run. So now not only are command classes singletons, but their 'run' method can only be invoked once -- both restrictions enforced by Distribution. The code is checked into CVS, or you can download a snapshot at http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/distutils-19990607.tar.gz Hope someone (Amos?) can try the new version under NT. Any takers for Mac OS? BTW, all parties involved in the Great "Where Do We Install Stuff?" Debate should take a good, hard look at the 'set_final_options()' method of the Install class in distutils/install.py; this is where all the policy decisions about where to install files are made. Currently it apes the Python 1.5 situation as closely as I could figure it out. Obviously, this is subject to change -- I just don't know to *what* it will change!

Package versioning
by Timothy Docker 29 Apr '18

29 Apr '18

Hi all, I've been aware that the distutils sig has been simmerring away, but until recently it has not been directly relevant to what I do. I like the look of the proposed api, but have one question. Will this support an installed system that has multiple versions of the same package installed simultaneously? If not, then this would seem to be a significant limitation, especially when dependencies between packages are considered. Assuming it does, then how will this be achieved? I am presently managing this with a messy arrangement of symlinks. A package is installed with its version number in it's name, and a separate directory is created for an application with links from the unversioned package name to the versioned one. Then I just set the pythonpath to this directory. A sample of what the directory looks like is shown below. I'm sure there is a better solution that this, and I'm not sure that this would work under windows anyway (does windows have symlinks?). So, has this SIG considered such versioning issues yet?

the 'wheel' binary package format
by Daniel Holth 30 Sep '12

30 Sep '12

I got tired of waiting for lxml to compile over and over again, so I invented a binary packaging format called 'wheel' (of cheese) that uses Metadata 1.2 and .dist-info directories instead of .egg-info, patched pkg_resources.py to be able to load .dist-info directories, implemented "python setup.py bdist_wheel", and patched pip to be able to install .whl files. The gist of the spec is that it is a zip file with the .whl extension containing the contents of 'purelib' for a distribution, plus a Name-1.0.dist-info/ directory with the metadata files, plus Name-1.0.data/subdir directories for scripts, platlib, packaging's "categories", ... My specification so far is at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mWPyvoeiqCrAy4UPNnvaz7Cgrqm4s_cfaTauAeJ… and an lxml compiled for linux-x86-64 is at https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BxHz5bC4iN5TN0VWTFNrZGtCbWs http://bitbucket.org/dholth/distribute http://github.com/dholth/pip http://pypi.python.org/pypi/wheel Perhaps it will be useful. The implementation is still pretty rough, for example it does not check the architecture while installing, but it could be a handy way to speed up repeated virtualenv builds. Daniel Holth

Generic revision support to tag eggs
by torsten＠irlaender.de 27 Jul '12

27 Jul '12

Hi all, I was wondering if there is any support for adding a revision tag on eggs other than SVN. I found Issue42 [0] in the bugtracker, which deals with this but there is no progress since a long time. So i want to reraise this question here. I did not look any further in the current suggested solution to solve the issue but my first idea was: Why so complicated with logic for finding revision tagger etc.? Because i am really new to distutils i maybe/likeky i did not get the point. But why not provide a simple option to the egg_info command to define a call of a command or script which returns the revision number? Example: [egg_info] tag_build = .dev tag_command = hg tip| head -n 1|cut -d " " -f4|cut -d: -f1 This adds a very simple way of adding hg support but in general to tag generic revisions. I have already written a patch which implements this to get a quick fix for this. So i ask myself if this might be usefull for anyone else, or if my solution is way too simple and naiv? Please do not wonder if i do not respond on the list until the 8. August as i am on holiday. best wishes Torsten Irländer [0] http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue42

Adding Provides-Extra as an edit to PEP 345
by Daniel Holth 26 Jul '12

Hopefully this will be a more useful spec. This begs for parenthesis in environment markers, something that is easy to do by compiling markers to Python functions using the ast as `markerlib` does. Provides-Extra (multiple use) ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: A string containing the name of an optional feature. Must be a valid Python identifier. May be used to make a dependency conditional on whether the optional feature has been requested. Example:: Provides-Extra: pdf Requires-Dist: reportlab; extra == 'pdf' ...

'markerlib' (environment markers) is ready
by Daniel Holth 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

I'm happy with markerlib, my implementation of environment markers. In markerlib, a marker is a function def marker(environment=None, override=None) where environment is the environment and override updates the environment; if environment is None then it's the default environment. So marker(override={'python_version':'2.6'}) evaluates the marker with the python version changed to 2.6. The API is two functions compile() (recommended) and interpret() (compatible with packaging API). The implementation takes advantage of the fact that variables can contain "." at the interpreter level, and then implements markers as Python with only (Compare, BoolOp, Attribute, Name, Load, Str, cmpop, boolop) AST nodes allowed. On CPython 2.7 it is a little bit slower than the distutils2 implementation for a single compilation+evaluation of a statement like "a == 'a' or b == 'b'" but is much faster for repeated evaluation. It works for Python >= 2.5. It has 100% code coverage. Would you be interested in folding this into packaging, or distribute (yes, the setuptools fork) since markers are needed to properly support .dist-info, perhaps as a different top-level name 'markers' or 'envmarkers'?

following modules appear to be missing:

Hi, I have tried to compiled a python file with pygame module into a exe file. I have written game2exe.py and I read some articles online which told me to include the "msvcp71.dll", "dwmapi.dll" files to my python: def isSystemDLL(pathname): if os.path.basename(pathname).lower() in ("msvcp71.dll", "dwmapi.dll"): return 0 return origIsSystemDLL(pathname) Then, I got the error messages like The following modules appear to be missing: AppKit, Foundation, ICCProfile, Numeric, OpenGL.GL, __imaging_gif, scproxy, copyreg, dummy.process, numpy, pkg_resorces, quitueue, winreg, pygame-sdlmain_osx I tried to include: self.extra_datas = ["kaiu.ttf", "ARIALUNI.TTF", 'images/cards', 'images', 'sounds', 'pygame' 'Manifests' ] These files contains both modules and resource of my program, but in the end, when I click on the blackjack.exe, it replies me a blank screen with nothing going on. In the Manifests folder, I have include: Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest msvcm90.dll msvcp90.dll msvcr90.dll I also tried to compiled setup.py with py2exe: from distutils.core import setup import py2exe,sys,os import pygame setup(console=['blackjack.py']) origIsSystemDLL = py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL def isSystemDLL(pathname): if os.path.basename(pathname).lower() in ("msvcp71.dll", "dwmapi.dll"): return 0 return origIsSystemDLL(pathname) py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL = isSystemDLL It works fine until the end, but when I click the blackjack.exe, it returns to me: file "pygame\___init__pyc", line 263 in moduleattributeError:imageext Thanks.

strong hashing in RECORD and signed wheel files
by Daniel Holth 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

One of the main design goals for the wheel built package format is that a wheel archive extracted to sys.path is a PEP-376 compliant installation. I also want most wheel files to be cryptographically signed. The idea is to include a < 256 byte JSON Web Signature of RECORD, "RECORD.jws", which will only take a couple of milliseconds to generate, in the .dist-info directory. This is only meaningful if RECORD has strong hashes, or the installer would have to always rewrite RECORD on install just to include md5 sums to follow the spec. PyPi already lets you sign whole archives with GPG, but this scheme is more flexible because you can re-compress the .zip archive without invalidating signatures, you could use HTTP Range (partial content) requests to download and verify only the metadata of an archive without having to download the whole thing (this is one reason why .whl is a zip archive), and the whole system will be a bit more relaxed than GPG so that bdist_wheel can just generate signing keys automatically and an end user can decide whether to trust or distribute a particular key later -- perhaps a particular key would be valid per maintainer, or per distribution, or for only certain versions of a distribution. That's why I would like PEP 376 to understand hashes-besides-md5 in RECORD.

easy_install issues
by Fred G 15 Jul '12

15 Jul '12

Hi-- I was having some difficulties installing easy_install. I was following a tutorial that had me on the command prompt typing C:/easy_tutorial\ez_setup.py but in the tutorial this did something else then what my computer did. For me, a notepad file with a python script opened when I did this, instead of actually running anything. I've spent a good 2-3 hours looking at the easy_install documentation, downloading a free software to open .tar.gz files, opening various egg files and .py files, and haven't gotten anywhere really. Is there a very basic step-by-step guide for how to install it that doesn't come up in a google search for this? Or a good description that can explain things in an easy way? I have python 2.7.3 and would really like to get this module installed. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Request: new zc.buildout release
by Martijn Pieters 14 Jul '12

14 Jul '12

Could we have a new release of zc.buildout please? 1.5.2 was released nearly 2 years ago, and trunk now contains some interesting bug fixes and new features. If there is something blocking a 1.6 release, could we see about branching off the 1.5.x line to at least push out the bug fixes? -- Martijn Pieters www.zopatista.com

[issue142] easy_install ignores 'headers' passed to setup()
by Tres Seaver 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

New submission from Tres Seaver <tseaver(a)palladion.com>: A bare distutils install of a package with 'headers' passed to 'setup()' dispatches to 'install_headers', which copies the exported header files into the system include path. 'easy_install' bypasses the distutils 'install()' when doing a normal egg install, and does not re-implement the 'install_headers' dance. Furthermore, the 'bdist_egg' it creates, even though it contains the header files, has no metadata which would allow the installer to discover that they should be copied. ---------- messages: 669 nosy: tseaver priority: bug status: unread title: easy_install ignores 'headers' passed to setup() _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setuptools(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue142> _______________________________________________

[issue141] Setuptools looks for dependencies even when installed

New submission from fonnesbeck <fonnesbeck(a)gmail.com>: When installing a package using setuptools, the installer looks for and tries to install dependencies even when they are already satisfied. For example, a package that requires scipy (no version requirement specified) looks for a version online even though I have a very current version already installed: Processing dependencies for mcex==0.1 Searching for scipy Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/scipy/ Reading http://www.scipy.org Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=27747&package_id=19531 Reading http://new.scipy.org/Wiki/Download Best match: scipy 0.10.1 ---------- messages: 664 nosy: fonnesbeck priority: bug status: unread title: Setuptools looks for dependencies even when installed _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setuptools(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue141> _______________________________________________

Proposal: drop md5 for sha256
by Jennings, Jared L CTR USAF AFMC 46 SK/CCI 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

On hosts configured for compliance with U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 <http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips140-2/fips1402.pdf>, like those in some banks and, yes, the U.S. Department of Defense, cryptographic modules (such as OpenSSL, which underlies hashlib) are not allowed to calculate MD5 digests, because MD5 is no longer a FIPS Approved digest algorithm. I know no one is trying here to lean on MD5 for security, but the standard says nothing about the reason why you're using MD5: just that you can't. No one expects a digest algorithm to fail, and Python 2.x may not have been fixed to check for that before being frozen <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746118#c3>, so if you run an MD5 checksum on a FIPS-compliant system with an unpatched Python 2.x, the Python interpreter will segfault. (Ruby, too, had this problem and was itself only recently fixed, <http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/4944>.) I have to configure hosts in accordance with FIPS 140-2, so the more places I can get rid of MD5, the less headaches I have. -- Jared Jennings, RHCE, Network Admin, SURVICE Engineering Co.

[issue140] [PATCH] Make 'develop --egg-path' respect specified path in easy_install.pth
by R. Andrew Ohana 04 Jul '12

04 Jul '12

New submission from R. Andrew Ohana <andrew.ohana(a)gmail.com>: Currently easy_install.pth will either contain paths relative to the site-packages directory, or the normalized_path. This is because the framework has been setup to use normalized paths everywhere. The patch should properly extend the current framework to make the argument to the egg-path option actually respected. ---------- files: respect-egg-path.patch messages: 663 nosy: ohanar priority: feature status: unread title: [PATCH] Make 'develop --egg-path' respect specified path in easy_install.pth Added file: http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/file82/respect-egg-path.patch _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setuptools(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue140> _______________________________________________

Proposal: drop md5 for sha256
by Daniel Holth 04 Jul '12

04 Jul '12

I would like to amend the spec. The hash column of RECORD should be 'sha256:' + urlsafe_b64encode(hashlib.sha256(data)) instead of the hopelessly obsolete md5. With a secure hash function, you can digitally sign RECORD. It would also make sense to allow RECORD to be omitted from RECORD.

Self Introduction and Getting Hands On
by Bohuslav Kabrda 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Hi all, I recently came upon Tarek's blogpost [1] about converting Python packages to rpm specfiles. I have pretty good knowledge of this, as I am a Fedora package maintainer and Python is one of my main responsibilities. I have always wanted to become a Python developer and becoming part of distutils-sig and trying to give a helping hand with RPM related stuff is probably a good entry point for me :) To introduce myself, I work at Red Hat as a package maintainer for dynamic languages, I am author of the new Fedora-used pyp2rpm [2], [3], which tries to do exactly what Py2RPM is supposed to be. (Well, it's not perfect, but it can do 90 % of the work, usually. So far, it doesn't work with distutils2, but I'll probably be working on that when Python 3.3 gets released.) I also have some minor not-yet-released projects in Python, I work with Django and I'm just a Python enthusiast. In Fedora, I am a maintainer/comaintainer of both Python and Python3, Django and another 15+ (and growing) set of packages. Thanks for reading this through :) I'm looking forward to working with - and learning from - all of you. -- Regards, Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda.
