Bug#690060: RFS: glade2script/3.0.5-1 [ITP] -- Glade interface engine for scripts
(I don't intend to sponsor this package.)
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/glade2script/glade2script_3.0.5-1.dsc
Build-dependency on python-all should be bumped to ">= 2.6.6-3~" (see
dh_python2 manpage).
Current standard version is 3.9.4. (But note that lintian isn't aware of
it yet, so you'll get a spurious newer-standards-version, which you
should ignore for the time being.) You might want also update copyright
format URL.
glade2script is missing dependency on python-gi. There might be other
dependencies/recommendations missing, please check it yourself.
Let's have a look at the description:
Glade2script allows a script (Bash, Python or other) to display and
interact with a GUI (created with Glade).
After reading this I still have no idea what this package does. "Allows"
- but how?
Most of the opportunities offered by Gtk are available.
I don't think "opportunities" is the noun you are looking for. Perhaps
"features"?
One can also embed an external application that supports it natively,
like mplayer or gvim.
"It" being what?
A plugin system was added to extend G2S capability.
What is G2S?
Documentation, many examples, and an interface giving access to the
archive supports (simply install and run glade2script-doc).
I don't see any of these in the package.
Glade2script is already used by several software, such as Boot-Repair,
OS-Uninstaller, Debeditor, DeskWall, GUnity, LaunchBash, Malokal,
mkv_extractor_gui, Screencastor, Sylaba2, Xee, Zenitor.
This does not belong in the package description.
2 versions are available: Gtk2 and Gtk3.

The comment about "Sample debian/rules" doesn't make sense. Please
remove it. Ditto for the "some magic below" comment.
/usr/share/apport/package-hooks/*.py should be byte-compiled.
When I run glade2script without parameters, it fails with:
| $ glade2script
| ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for Notify
| ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for AppIndicator3
| Traceback (most recent call last):
| File "/usr/bin/glade2script", line 4809, in <module>
| path_appli, appli_name = os.path.split( f_glade )
| NameError: name 'f_glade' is not defined
According to the manpage, -g is not obligatory. (Which is likely a bug
in the manpage.) Also, I would expect a nicer error message.
Next, I tried to test the script on a trivial glade file (see the
attachment), but it didn't work:
| $ glade2script -g test.glade
| ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for Notify
| ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for AppIndicator3
| Traceback (most recent call last):
| File "/usr/bin/glade2script", line 4811, in <module>
| os.chdir(path_appli)
| OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''
It turns out that you need to pass full path (which is both surprising
and undocumented). And even then, it doesn't seem to work:
| $ glade2script -g $PWD/test.glade
| ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for Notify
| ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for AppIndicator3
| Exception in thread Thread-1:
| Traceback (most recent call last):
| File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 552, in __bootstrap_inner
| self.run()
| File "/usr/bin/glade2script", line 4450, in run
| args = self.test_fichier( s_bash )
| File "/usr/bin/glade2script", line 4437, in test_fichier
| fichier_t = '''%s %s''' % ( fichier_t, l_file_splitted.pop(0) )
| IndexError: pop from empty list
Am I doing something wrong?
Now let's have a look at upstream source:
| One file for the entire source code is a choice
| for easy integration into bash applications.
Also for making my head hurt! :>
| try:
| getattr(self, 'load_%s' % section)()
| except:
| function, widget = section.split(':')
| getattr(self, 'load_%s' % function)(widget)
The above would catch, among others, KeybordInterrupt. You should only
catch exceptions you _expect_ to be raised. (There are multiple
instances of such smelly code.)
There are many eval() and exec() calls. Is that really necessary?
This:
| self.path_FIFO = '/tmp/FIFO%s' % (PID)
and this:
| if dossier == 'None':
| dossier = '/tmp/webcache'
and this:
| if dossier == 'None': dossier = '/tmp/webcache'
smell like a security hole.
This:
| except ValueError, NameError:
won't catch NameError. It should be:
| except (ValueError, NameError):
instead. (Though I wonder why would anyone want to catch NameError.)
