Hi,
So yes, we need python3-tinytimer. Do you have time to package this - probably in Debian Python Team since this seems to be a generic package and the DPT prefers to have control over generic Python packages. In case you are no member of this team I might package it in the next couple of days.
Yes, I will work on packaging this. I'm a member of the Debian Python Team so I can make sure they become maintainer. I just wrote an issue asking the upstream maintainer to tag the current release.
We have several options in this case. The most simple option is to simply skip the affected tests. If we really care for all tests we should check whether the missing data files are sensibly small we can provide these files in debian/tests/data. If the data files are large we should create a multi-source tarball (see Debian Med policy how this works).
I agree about skipping the affected tests for now, and we can revisit this later when there's a new version to make the test suite more comprehensive.
Usually its better to stick to the Github source instead of Pypi. I need to check this situation if I have more time (if nobody will beat me in doing so ;-) ).
This might be the reason why the watch file is pointing to Pypi. May be you can file a Github issue asking for proper tags?
I agree and was wondering why the versions were not consistent in Pypi and Github. I wrote an issue on the pyensembl Github asking the upstream maintainer to tag current and future versions.
Thank you for the advice regarding this package. Best, Lance Lin GPG Fingerprint: 4A31 DB5A 1EE4 096C 8739 9880 9036 4929 4C33 F9B7
