does not provide python2.4 modules

[Reinhard Tartler]

the latest binary package only provide support for python2.5, but not for python2.4.

A simple "import urlgrabber" fails with python2.4 but works with python2.5.

python2.4 applications like yum fail because of this.

Bug# 71773 is related to this but is specific to Yum not running at all under Edgy due to this dependency failure

[Jan Schmidt (thaytan)]

Just hit this today. Glad to see it's already filed.

Can I provide any info to help solve this?

[Marcelo Boveto Shima (marceloshima)]

It is related with python-support. I've commented the dh_pythonsupport on debian/rules and it worked after building and installing.

[Marcelo Boveto Shima (marceloshima)]

I've commented the dh_pysupport, not dh_pythonsupport like I've posted above.

[Bryan Forbes (bryanforbes)]

Has there been any progress on this? I'm trying to install urlgrabber on edgy and there are still no python2.4 modules.

[Jon Topper (jon-topper)]

I've been able to work around this problem by adding /usr/share/python-support/python-urlgrabber to my PYTHONPATH before running anything in python, though presumably there's a better fix to be had.

Still happening on Feisty

[Dan O'Huiginn (daniel-ohuiginn)]

This can be fixed by rebuilding the package. Attached is a debdiff that does nothing except update the changelog (and change maintainer to motu), to force that rebuild.

[Michael Bienia (geser)]

Please set to "Fix released" once it's on the archive.
