There's a fix at: https://github.com/kennethreitz/legit/pull/139

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

The Debian/Ubuntu package has a patch already (debian/patches/fix_import_args), but apparently it does not match the version of clint (anymore):

I suggest forwarding the bug to the Debian maintainer / bug tracker.

Apart from that, since the PR/fix mentioned above has been merged in Git (but
not released on pypi), you could install legit manually.

How to do that?

I'd better install from PyPI. Is there a plan to release there? It
might be needed for packaging too.

Via the program `reportbug`.

Or manually via email: https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

It is weird that Ubuntu and Debian doesn't have upsteam / downstream bug tracker integration and require people to waste their time twice to forward the issues. Anyway, I am not using it anymore.

This is fixed upstream in Debian. How to make 0.1.1-4 appear in Ubuntu?
