[MIR] python-elasticsearch

[Corey Bryant]

Availability: Currently in universe
Rationale: Dependency for Openstack Ceilometer kilo-2
Security: No security history.
Quality Assurance: Package works out of the box with no prompting. There are no major bugs in Ubuntu and there are no major bugs in Debian. Unit tests are run during build.
Dependencies: All are in main except python-pylibmc [2]
Standards Compliance: FHS and Debian Policy compliant.
Maintenance: Simple python package that the Ubuntu Server Team will take care of.
Background: Python client for Elasticsearch - Official low-level client for Elasticsearch. Its goal is to provide common ground for all Elasticsearch-related code in Python; because of this it tries to be opinion-free and very extendable.

Looks fine. But the patch to enable tests should also run nosetests3 as well as nosetests to run the python3 versions of the tests too. Also, there is version 1.4 in Debian. Should we update?

[Chuck Short (zulcss)]

Unfortunately to have the tests enabled you need to have an elasticsearch server installed in order to run the tests. Also the tests are not included in the release tarball as they meant to run in the git archive. The tests are regularily run upstream as well.

(Sorry for slow reply.)

The tests do seem included with the tarball? There's the test_elasticsearch/ folder anyway.

It looks like there are two test problems:
- test_elasticsearch/test_server/ contains a bunch of tests that try to use the network. They should all be skipped when we build.
- test_elasticsearch/helpers/test.py contains a method get_test_client() that nose picks up as a test. It should be skipped (as it is only a helper for test_server tests).

With those skipped, there are still 90+ tests that could be run. Seems a shame to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Also, version 1.4 pulls in python-sphinx-rtd-theme as a build-dep, which I've added to this MIR. Let me look at that.

The rtd theme is OK, but needs a bug subscriber. Same with fonts-font-awesome, which is pulled in by the theme.
