Hi Örjan!
Could you please consider doing this?
The Python3 Bind9 DNS Management application (dms) that I am uploading
to Debian in the NEW queue needs it.
Its a real nice to have as you don't get 'python -blah blah2', and you
can pgrep for it. It ould be very helpful to have this for my init
script.
I am quite will to render any assistance, advice and/or help required to
help you get this done.
If you are not interested in looking after this package any more, a good
suggestion is to pass the package onto the Debian Python Modules Team
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonModulesTeam/
If you would like to do this, as a Debian Developer I can help arrange
it.
One of the Python Modules team goals for Jessie is get migrate off
python-support if possible:
https://wiki.debian.org/Python/JessieRoadmap
which is needed to implement Python3 support for packaging.
Thank you very much for your time, and for all the contributions you
ever have made to Debian!
Kindest Regards,
Matt Grant

Hi Andreas!
I have just lodged an ITP to package DMS
http://mattgrant.net.nz/software/dms
of which I am the author.
It is going to have python3-setproctitle as a Recommended
dependency, or
as a Depends as it may even need it for the init script
operation - I'll
have to check, its just so much code.
Its nice to see the daemon running with process name
'daemonname'
instead of just 'python'
There is a bug #675423 to update python-setproctitle and provide
python3
support with attached example packages etc. Would you please
mind
updating your package please?
Also one of the python modules goals for Jessie is get migrate
off
python-support if possible:
https://wiki.debian.org/Python/JessieRoadmap
so it will have to be done some time anyhow please.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards,
Matt Grant
