Bug#1014519: RFA: python-canmatrix -- Handle CAN (Controller Area Network) database formats



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 src:python-canmatrix

I request an adopter for the python-canmatrix package.

Back in the days I was involved in some automotive projects, which lead
me into packaging 'python-can' and 'python-canmatrix' (Python modules
dealing with the "Controller Area Network (CAN) bus").
Now, I haven't been involved in any such projects in the last few years,
and thus my interest in these packages has dwindled.
Also, not working with CAN-interfaces means that I cannot really test
the module under real-world conditions any more.

The package is in good shape, and it hasn't taken too much work in the past.
The package is maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Python Team.

However, if somebody uses the packages on a regular basis, I would be
happy to pass on the lead maintainership.
(I'm also open to co-maintaining the package, if this makes a prospective
maintainer more comfortable.)


The package description is:
 Canmatrix implements a "Python CAN Matrix Object" which describes the
 CAN-communication itself and some auxiliary objects (Boardunits, Frames,
 Signals, Values, ...)
 There are also some extract and merge options for dealing with CAN databases.
 .
 Supported file formats for import:
  * .dbc candb / Vector
  * .dbf Busmaster (open source!)
  * .kcd kayak (open source!)
  * .arxml autosar system description
  * .yaml dump of the Python object
  * .xls(x) excel xls-import, works with .xls-file generated by this lib
  * .sym peak pcan can description
 Supported file formats for export:
  * .dbc
  * .dbf
  * .kcd
  * .xls(x)
  * .json Canard (open source!)
  * .arxml (very basic implementation)
  * .yaml (dump of the Python object)
  * .sym
