Bug#579401: ITP: pyopenfst -- Python bindings for the OpenFst library



* Frank Lin PIAT <fpiat@klabs.be>, 2010-04-28, 08:33:
* Package name    : pyopenfst
python-openfst ?

I don't see any reason to deviate from the upstream name. (Python Policy 2.2 does not apply here, as it doesn't talk about source package names.)

I would suggest duplicating libopenfst's description, then add that this
is python binding, like:

----
OpenFst is a library for constructing, combining, optimizing, and
searching weighted finite-state transducers (FSTs). Weighted
finite-state transducers are automata where each transition has an input
label, an output label, and a weight. The more familiar finite-state
acceptor is represented as a transducer with each transition's input and
output label equal. Finite-state acceptors are used to represent sets of
strings (specifically, regular or rational sets); finite-state
transducers are used to represent binary relations between pairs of
strings (specifically, rational transductions). The weights can be used
to represent the cost of taking a particular transition.

This package (known upstream as PyOpenFST), contains the python
bindings.
----

Agreed, thanks for your feedback.
