Bug#113058: htmlgen: HTMLgen not available under python2
Package: htmlgen
Version: 2.2.2-4
Severity: important
Tags: patch
HTMLgen is not available under python2.
I've made a really dirt hack to fix it.
According to HTMLgen website it's designed for python 1.5 or above. Therefore a simple solution would be a new package "python2-htmlgen" that copies everything under python2 tree (i.e. /usr/lib/python2.0/site-packages/ )
Thanks in advance for your attention
