pychecker crashes with python2.7

[أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy)]

Binary package hint: pychecker

Please have a look at this FTBFS in natty:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/61007900/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-i386.git-buildpackage_0.5.12_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

the build fails at:

Note that there does not seem to be a newer upstream pychecker release that fixes this. Because Python 2.7 support seems spread out among several CVS commits, I tried doing a merge package from the latest CVS tree, but there were conflicts. I think we should wait until a new upstream is released, and/or a new version hits Debian. The resolution of disabling pychecker when used with 2.7 (see git-buildpackage 0.5.13ubuntu1) seems right to me for now.

Please use this bug report to list packages where pychecker has been disabled for Python 2.7. When pychecker is finally fixed, I'll go back around and re-enable the checks.

This bug was fixed in the package pychecker - 0.8.19-1

---------------
pychecker (0.8.19-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    - This code is now compatible with Python 2.7 (closes: #609438)
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.1.0 (no packaging changes).
  * Rewrite debian/regression.sh to handle the new upstream unit tests.
  * Update debian/copyright to reference Thomas Vander Stichele.
  * Update debian/pychecker.1 manpage to update the package version.
  * Update debian/README.Debian to clarify the status of pychecker2.
  * Update debian/patches/remove-shebang.patch to match upstream code.
  * Add new patch fix-version.patch so pychecker reports the right version.
  * Add new patch remove-bashisms.patch so test_check.sh runs with dash.
  * Add new patch put-back-missing-files-from-cvs.patch.
    - This patch adds back a *huge* number of files that were mistakenly
      not included in the official upstream 0.8.19 tarball. These files
      will be included in the 0.8.20 release, using a new MANIFEST.in
      which I provided. However, for the time being upstream has asked
      me to deal with this problem by patching the Debian package. All
      of the extra files that I have included in my 0.8.19-1 release were
      pulled directly from upstream CVS using 'cvs co -r v0_8_19'.
