"babel" or "Babel" only appears once in setup.py: "setup(name='babel',". Grepping -i through all of the python source, babel only appears in printfs, comments, a couple of #include "babel_config.h", the one spot above, and another like it in sidlsetup.py. It seems like it wouldn't be such a bad thing to just change it... Yes, my package was in sarge, but that was pre-1.0, and python-babel didn't work then. So I don't think there's a significant user community for this in Debian -- yet. > > On Thu, 2008-08-07 at 00:05 +0200, Christoph Haas wrote: > > > What a waste of time... :) > > > > Not necessarily -- if it lets people internationalize SIDL programs, or > > at least install their dependencies simultaneously... > > Yes, we need to sort this out.
