Bug#990235: RFS: python-pylatexenc/2.10-1 [ITP] -- Simple LaTeX parser providing conversion to/from unicode

["Diego M. Rodriguez" <diego@moreda.io>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "python-pylatexenc":

 * Package name    : python-pylatexenc
   Version         : 2.10-1
   Upstream Author : Philippe Faist <philippe.faist@bluewin.ch>
 * URL             : https://github.com/phfaist/pylatexenc
 * License         : Expat, Expat and W3C, W3C
 * Vcs             :
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-pylatexenc
   Section         : python

For context, the issues that I most struggled with were:
1. declaring the d/copyright correctly: hopefully this is addressed
thanks to the help of the helpful folks of the debian-legal list [1],
which involved switching to using GitHub releases as upstream and
incorporating their suggestions.
2. including manpages for the 3 executables (as setup.py
console_scripts)in the package: initially I attempted to generate them
dynamically at build time, but I switched to using a custom target as
recommended in [2]. As a side effect of 1, I was able to include a
documentation package (rendered from sphinx sources) - I'm unsure if
rendering the full documentation as a manpage would be preferred over
having individual help2man-generated entries.

Any help and further review is more than welcome - the package is
maintained at salsa [3].

It builds those binary packages:

  python3-pylatexenc - Simple LaTeX parser providing conversion to/from
unicode
  python-pylatexenc-doc - Simple LaTeX parser providing conversion
to/from unicode (Documentation)
