Status of the python-dev task
Hi,
According to Joey Hess, it seems that the python-dev needs
someone to maintain it.
At the moment, the python-dev does look like :

Those commented packages seems not to be in woody or no longer
exist. Maintainers, if your python packages did not enter
testing, you should have a look to the testing pages in order to figure
out what happened and to resolve the problems ASAP.
Thanks to apt-cache, I listed the following packages that could
be considered as part of python-dev:

This is a very long list and I'm not sure all of them should
be put in a single task, for few reasons:
- there are both python and python2 package.
- some of them are not used a lot.
As long as there is a speration between python and python2,
I would propose to create a second task called python2-dev
that would contain all python2 specific packages.
(I still don't know what was stated about the separation, so
does my proposal make sense?)
Now, some questions:
- what packages are not worth having?
- should we split the task in smaller ones?
Thanks for your remarks and ideas.
Cheers,
