A warning while installing python-reportlab

[Shirish Agarwal]

Binary package hint: python-reportlab

while installing python-reportlab while doing sudo aptitude ubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop came across the following warning, I had uninstalled ubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop just before due to other reasons :-

Setting up python-reportlab (2.0dfsg-1) ...
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/reportlab/lib/PyFontify.py:35: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/reportlab/lib/PyFontify.py:36: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6

Dunno if its serious or not hence just reporting.

It's not actually a problem until Python 2.6 is released, but upstream should be addressing it now. You might want to report it there and then link the bug reports here.

Scott,
         I put the bug upstream at debian also, although as a wishlist bug (as had filed all wishlist bugs before at debian) sorry, also filed the bug at reportlab users mailing list also just to cover tracks.

This is fixed in debian in 2.1dfsg-1. Needs a sync.
