Bug#786730: ITP: python-pychromecast -- Python library for communicating with Google Chromecast
Hi Muammar,
The reason for that it's not in, is because of the dependency on protobuf 3.0, which
is not yet in Debian. See https://bugs.debian.org/795841
However, I made an attempt now today to restore protobuf 2 support in the newest pychromecast
version. You can have a look here:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/python-modules/packages/pychromecast.git/log/?h=before_protobuf3_in_debian
or clone with:
git clone https://anonscm.debian.org/git/python-modules/packages/pychromecast.git -b before_protobuf3_in_debian
Perhaps we could get that into Debian. Note that we can only make Python 2 packages since
python-protobuf is only for Python 2 so far.
