Package: ipcheck Version: 0.233-1 Severity: minor User: debian-python@lists.debian.org Usertags: python2.6 Hello, One of the changes brought by Python 2.6 is the removal of string exceptions, so they won't work in Python 2.6 (just a side note: they were also buggy before, since they were not guaranteed to work reliable even in <2.6); as an example: $ python2.5 -c "raise 'eggs'" -c:1: DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> eggs $ python2.6 -c "raise 'eggs'" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: exceptions must be old-style classes or derived from BaseException, not str Since 2.6 is the planned default version for the upcoming new Debian stable release, there are chances your package may be affected by this change. We are not sure your package is impacted, since the exception raise can be in a dead or very rare branch of the code, and so simply never being executed. We would like to leverage your package maintainer status and the relationship with upstream authors to inspect more deeply the issue and act accordingly (that includes: making this bug release critical, closing it as irrelevant, tagging it 'wontfix', or whatever is appropriate). Jakub Wilk made the discovery of the problem and kindly prepared a list [1] of all identified packages (downloaded on 2010-06-09) along with files & lines that triggered the pattern search.

[2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/06/msg00097.html We do not consider the whole situation a stopper for the Python transition to 2.6, except (of course) for those single bugs where severity will be increased. Thanks in advance for your attention, Sandro on behalf of debian-python
