Package: python-apt
Version: 0.9.3.12
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

I am trying to use python-apt as a dependency on a project that is
documented on Readthedocs.org (RTD):

http://debmans.readthedocs.io/

To parse the API docs, Sphinx need to load my modules, which in turn
need to load the dependencies. This means RTD needs to be able to
install those dependencies. I correctly have python-apt setup as a
depdency, so RTD tries to install it, but fails:

  File "/home/docs/checkouts/readthedocs.org/user_builds/debmans/envs/latest/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools/sandbox.py", line 46, in _execfile
    exec(code, globals, locals)
  File "/tmp/easy_install-V5ckuy/python-apt-0.7.8/setup.py", line 6, in <module>
    # This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
ImportError: No module named DistUtilsExtra.command

You can also see the empty API docs here:

https://debmans.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html

I presume this is fixed in later versions, but unfortunately, it seems
the version of apt on PyPI is out of date and has issues being
"easy-installed". It also seems it can't be installed with pip at all:

----------------------------------------
Cleaning up...
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-Oofl8j/python-apt
Storing debug log for failure in /home/anarcat/.pip/pip.log

Shouldn't the package be updated on PyPI?

Thanks!
