Missing __init__.py file on package

[Thiago Bellini]

The package is missing a __init__.py file on the qrcode/image package, making it useless. Just try to 'import qrcode' and since qrcode.image is not a package because of the missing file, and the qrcode/__init__.py tries to import it, it will not work.

Just by changing the rules to do 'dh $@ --with python2' (which is the rule being used by newer versions of this package on vivid/whily/etc) instead of 'dh $@' made it correct. The change is attached on the bug.

I uploaded a new version with the change on my ppa here <https://launchpad.net/~hackedbellini/+archive/ubuntu/misc> so you can test it if you want.

Package works fine in wily, xenial, and sid.

I can't reproduce that error in trusty either. It imports fine, and it has a /usr/share/pyshared/qrcode/__init__.py .

As this report doesn't specify a release (maybe this was utopic or so?), leaving closed.

@pitty the error is on trusty only.

Yes, the /usr/share/pyshared/qrcode/__init__.py exists, what is missing in it is the /usr/share/pyshared/qrcode/image/__init__.py, as you can see here http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/all/python-qrcode/filelist

Try importing qrcode.main for example (as it will try to import qrcode.image.base.BaseImage) and it will give you an ImportError

@pitti: Ok, that is weird. Just tested on a trusty vm and I could not reproduce the problem.

When I reproduced it, I extracted qrcode from the deb, put the directory on PYTHONPATH and ran it.

I did that because, even though I was running trusty, I don't have sudo powers to install the package myself (this is a diskless station at my work, I use debian at home and thus could not reproduce there either), and I was trying to check if the python-qrcode package on trusty was compatible with something I'm developing.

When I did that, it gave me an ImportError (as is expected because of the missing qrcode/image/__init__.py that should make it not be considered a package) that I could fix by creating the missing file. Then I came here to report the "bug".

The question now is, why those 2 approaches are giving me different results? AFAIK, they should run equally.
