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 :

----
Task: python-dev
Section: devel
Description: Python
 Almost all of the Debian-packaged Python tools
 and extensions, for developing scripts and simple or complex applications
 in Python.

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,
