[python 2.6 transition] python-wxglade doesn't work with python2.6

[Dimitrios Symeonidis]

Binary package hint: python-wxglade

in latest jaunty, when trying to run python-wxglade, I get:
python: can't open file '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/wxglade/wxglade.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

instead, the file is under /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wxglade/wxglade.py

the error is in file /usr/bin/wxglade, which reads:
#!/bin/sh

pv=`python -c 'import sys; print sys.version[:3]'`
exec python /usr/lib/python$pv/site-packages/wxglade/wxglade.py "$@"
#!/bin/sh

i have verified that, changing site-packages to dist-packages fixes the issue

What do you think about adding the support for a patch system and using it in order to patch upstream source files like Makefile and wxglade?

[Andrea Gasparini (gaspa)]

if you apply this specific change, it won't work with python2.5 and previous.

[Alessio Treglia (quadrispro)]

It's quite normal, XS-Python-Version field value is set to current then we need to build it with python 2.6.

Patch needs to be adjusted, I'm on it.

[Andrea Gasparini (gaspa)]

I do not agree. If we can provide a wider support, why the hell don't we make it?
It doesn't seem complicated, and if some people need to install python2.5 doesn't have to make hard hack to make it work...

anyway, you're the man on it.

Attaching debdiff

[Alessio Treglia (quadrispro)]

Andrea, your idea could be good, but I think it would be better asking debian maintainer about it.

New debdiff fixes bug #320845, too.

I am changing the Status back to 'New' as 'Confirmed' is used for bugs that have already received a Feature Freeze exception. I am also unsubscribing ubuntu-universe-sponsors until an exception has been granted.

[Alessio Treglia (quadrispro)]

Any progress here?

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

Fine for me.

[Alessio Treglia (quadrispro)]

Uploaded, sitting in the queue.
