  Package: sponsorship-requests
  Severity: normal

Dear Debian Mentors,

  I have packaged tap.py:

 * Package name    : tap.py
   Version         : 1.3-1
   Upstream Author : Matt LAYMAN
 * URL             : https://github.com/mblayman/tappy
 * License         : BSD-2
   Section         : python

tap.py is a python package that provides:

- a test runner that produces a TAP compliant output.
- facilities to load and parse the output produced by TAP compliant
  test runners.
- Provides a lexer to colorize TAP output with Pygments.

There are a few other python packages that to similar stuff, but none
yet in Debian.
Compared to other package that I could find:

- It is very easy to integrate in your tests, and plays well with the
standard unittest framework;
- It is actively maintained;
- It is compatible with python from 2.6 to 3.4 (covers all python
versions found in Debian);

I have packaged it because I use it myself and having it packaged
eases its deployment on the development and CI systems I maintain.
I now hope that it will be useful to someone else...

Packages are available for review on debian mentors and here:
