[MIR] python-googleapi python-oauth2client python-uritemplate

[David Della Vecchia]

python-googleapi:

[Availability]
Currently in universe

[Rationale]
OpenStack Cinder package has added a dependency for the Google Python API and requires this package.

[Security]
No security history

[Quality Assurance]
No prompting during install, all unit tests ran successfully. No bugs open for the latest version.

[Dependencies]
python-oauth2client build dependency. MIR is below.

[Standards Compliance]
FHS and Debian Policy compliant.

[Maintenance]
Simple python package that the Ubuntu Server Team will take care of.

[Background]
python-googleapi is a wrapper around google-api-python-client and it provides google api access hooks for python.

----------------------------------------

python-oauth2client:

[Availability]
Currently in universe

[Rationale]
OpenStack Cinder package has added a dependency for the Google Python API and requires this package as a dependency.

[Security]
No security history

[Quality Assurance]
No prompting during install, no unit tests available. No bugs open for the latest version.

[Dependencies]
python-uritemplate, python-rsa, MIR's for each below.

[Standards Compliance]
FHS and Debian Policy compliant.

[Maintenance]
Simple python package that the Ubuntu Server Team will take care of.

[Background]
python-oauth2client provides oauth2 client library for single sign on.

----------------------------------------

python-uritemplate:

[Availability]
Currently in universe

[Rationale]
python-oauth2client depends on this package.

[Security]
No security history

[Quality Assurance]
No prompting during install, all unit tests run and succeed during build. No bugs open for the latest version.

[Dependencies]
All are in main.

[Standards Compliance]
FHS and Debian Policy compliant.

[Maintenance]
Simple python package that the Ubuntu Server Team will take care of.

[Background]
python-uritemplate implements RFC6570. URI Template can expand templates up to and including Level 4 in that specification. It exposes one method, "expand".

----------------------------------------

python-rsa:

[Availability]
Currently in universe

[Rationale]
python-oauth2client depends on this package.

[Security]
No security history

[Quality Assurance]
No prompting during install, all unit tests run and succeed during build. No bugs open for the latest version.

[Dependencies]
All are in main.

[Standards Compliance]

[Maintenance]
Simple python package that the Ubuntu Server Team will take care of.

[Background]
python-rss supports encryption and decryption, signing and verifying signatures, and key generation according to PKCS#1 version 1.5.

For python-googleapi:

- Needs a team bug subscriber
- Looks like it has tests that aren't being run. Any way we could enable those?
- We still ship an apiclient module, causing bug 1318660. Can we stop shipping that these days?

Looks like we need a MIR for python-uritemplate too... Will add a task here.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

For python-uritemplate:

- Also needs a team bug subscriber
- Also should run its tests

- Not a blocker or really a concern for Ubuntu, but I'll note the lintian error: debian-watch-file-unsupported-pypi-url

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

As for python-oauth2client... Ubuntu's preferred (and already-in-main) library for oauth2 is python-oauthlib. Is there a reason you that oauth2client specifically is needed? (beyond needing to patch googleapi to use it?)

[David Della Vecchia (ddellav)]

Michael, I linked a branch of googleapi that runs tests during build when I created the MIR, I'm just waiting on a merge or does it need to include more tests?

As for uritemplate I will create the MIR for it.

Googleapi would need to be patched to use oauthlib instead of oauth2client, beyond that I am unaware of any specific need for oauth2client.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

As for your googleapi branch, you probably also want to run nosetests3.

And yeah, a patch to use oauthlib would be very good. We don't want to have to maintain multiple oauth libraries in main.

[Corey Bryant (corey.bryant)]

Michael, oauthlib seems to be the right approach for a generic RFC-compliant library. oauth2client, however is a google-specific oauth2 client that is filled with utilties specific to Google, Google app engine, Google compute engine, etc. It's not a replacement for oauthlib.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Paging Seth Arnold for a comment on the viability of having another oauth library for its Google-specific bits.

adding python-rsa, dependency of python-oauthclient

[David Della Vecchia (ddellav)]

Uploaded new version of python-googleapi that runs all build tests successfully.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

David, awesome great. Other questions about python-googleapi still stand, but the test issue looks solved. :)

[David Della Vecchia (ddellav)]

python-oauth2client uploaded, python-rsa MIR added to description (no update necessary on that one).

I think all we have left is a team bug subscriber required for googleapi and we should be good to go.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Well, also the security team weighing in on the viability of python-oauth2client in main at all.

[Corey Bryant (corey.bryant)]

We have moved python-googleapi to Suggested packages for cinder so this MIR is no longer needed.
