[Stein Magnus Jodal]

Binary package hint: ipython

Upon starting ipython 0.9.1-1 on Python 2.6.1+, the following DeprecationWarning is issued:

$ ipython
1/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/IPython/Magic.py:38: DeprecationWarning: the sets module is deprecated
  from sets import Set

In [1]:

The attached patch fixes this.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

the fix should be backported to jaunty after verification in karmic

[Evan (ev)]

Given that we currently automatically sync ipython from Debian, and this is a small change, could you please submit the patch upstream:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debian/Bugs

Do note for the future that if you make changes in Ubuntu, you need to modify the maintainer field per:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/FAQ#What does XSBC-Original-Maintainer mean?

Thanks!

Debian still uses python 2.5, so I'm not sure they will want this patch or ship it with priority

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package ipython - 0.9.1-3ubuntu2

I run python-django on Ubuntu Lucid and somehow still get the same warning.
