Under which umbrella should I package my Python IDE for beginners (Thonny)?
Hi!
I've developed a Python IDE for beginners, Thonny (http://thonny.org)
and I intend to package it for Debian
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=857042).
The application would consist of a Python 3 package named "thonny"
(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/thonny), a simple launch script (python3
-m thonny), desktop file and icon. It depends only on Python 3.4 or
later with Tkinter.
For the needs of the main application, the Python package could be
private for the application, but as 3rd party Thonny plugins may need to
import something from there, it makes sense to treat it as a shared
Python package.
By the example of similar app Spyder
(https://packages.debian.org/sid/spyder3), I thought that it makes sense
to create two binary packages: "python3-thonny" for the Python package
and "thonny" for providing end user facilities. Would you agree with
this plan?
If I want to publish Thonny under one of the Python teams, which one
should I choose? (My own preference would be Python Modules, because I'm
more comfortable with git than with svn).
If it's good idea to publish it under Python Modules Team, can you
please add me to the team (my Alioth user is aivarannamaa-guest)? I've
read the policy document and agree with it.
Is anyone willing to sponsor the package?
best regards,
Aivar Annamaa
