Re: Alternative libraries for PEP-594

[Alexandre Detiste <alexandre.detiste@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I will need some "zombie-telnetlib" (so exactly the same API as
existing telnetlib)
because I maintain proprietary .deb (not "Debian packages") that need
to be installable without rebuild on Buster, Bookworm & Trixie.

I understand that "telnetlib3" / "exscript" are 'better/newer' API but
that does not fit the need.

Debian could also benefit from this zombie-telnetlib.

Should it be a native package or one with real upstream on PyPi ?

Greetings
