Bug#850664: RFS: python-pynzb/0.1.0-3

[Carl Suster <carl@contraflo.ws>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "python-pynzb"

* Package name    : python-pynzb
  Version         : 0.1.0-3
* URL             : https://github.com/ericflo/pynzb
* License         : BSD-3-clause
  Section         : python

I am interested in this package as a dependency for flexget (ITP: #724718).

The package has not received any attention from upstream, but it a very simple
set of wrappers for XML parsers to parse a simple XML format: NZB. For this
release I switch to building the Python 3 module which required the use of 2to3
in the build step. The Python 2 module can still be built fine, but I removed
it since there were no rdeps.

It builds these binary packages:

  python3-pynzb - unified API for parsing NZB files from NNTP (Usenet) servers

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/python-pynzb

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/python-pynzb/python-pynzb_0.1.0-3.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

python-pynzb (0.1.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Add myself to uploaders.
  * Switch to pybuild and dh-python.
  * Bump d/compat to 10.
  * Bump standards-version to 3.9.8 (no changes).
  * d/copyright: add myself and fix license short names
    - "public domain" -> public-domain
    - BSD -> BSD-3-clause.
  * Change Vcs to DPMT git repository and use https.
  * Change Homepage to GitHub.
  * Build the Python 3 module and drop the Python 2 module (no rdeps).
  * Run the test suite with pytest.
  * Call 2to3 during auto build.
  * 0001-set-message_id-properly-in-expat-parser.patch: fix an upstream code.
    Tests pass for Python 2 with only this change.
  * Move lxml to Suggests since there are fallbacks, but Build-Depend on it to
    run the tests.
  * For Python 3, decode strings -> bytes as utf-8 for lxml.
  * Fix watch file (although the last release was some time ago).
