I am going to file a few dozens of bugs against packages that are embedding copies of Python modules; more specifically: - modules available as separate Debian packages: argparse, beautifulsoup, clientform, coherence, configobj, elementtree, feedparser, mechanize, pexpect, ply, pyparsing, simpletal, urlgrabber; - standard Python library modules; - msgfmt.py script. You can check which packages is your package known to be embedding in the embedded-code-copies file: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/secure-testing/data/embedded-code-copies (Nota bene the file documents many more embeds that I didn't have time to properly review. You are welcome to fix those bugs, too.) Justification: Debian Policy 4.13 (Convenience copies of code). Proposed severity: normal. Tags/usertags: suggestions are welcome.
