FFe: Sync ipython 0.10-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[John Lenton]

Please sync ipython 0.10-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:

    The two patches that were part of the Ubuntu delta,
      debian/patches/07_python-wxgtk2.6_compatibility.patch
      debian/patches/07_deprecate_sets_module.patch
    are now included upstream.

    The only remaining part of the Ubuntu delta is
      * build requires quilt 0.46-5 or later for unpatch (LP: #383017)
    which is easy to redo.

Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:

    0.10 includes a lot of bugfixes, some new features, and is
    intented as “a stable and robust release”. The only possible
    problem is that ipy_leo.py is no longer included. The leo editor
    is not part of Ubuntu, so I don't think this is a problem
    (ipy_leo.py was split out of ipython itself, although still
    available at lp:~ipython-dev/ipython/ipython-extensions, and is
    possibly being incorporated into the leo project itself: see
    http://groups.google.com/group/leo-editor/msg/493d6beda66bfb9f).

    The debian changes also include a fix for the rename of the
    zope.interface package, and a note about quilt usage (in
    README.source).

This is the relevant part of the docs/source/changes.txt file. Not including as a diff because it has a lot of spurious lines (changes to line wrapping, added a table of contents, that kind of thing).

some interactive testing I did (as well as actually using it for development):

Just wanted to point out that the 0.10 package also fixes the following bug:

thanks

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

yes, this all seems to make sense to me, +1.

[Iulian Udrea (iulian)]

Ack #2. Please go ahead.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

MOTU Ack for sycn request.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

(the quilt version is only interesting for backporting to < intrepid, and even there a test-build should just say that it doesn't work, so let's really drop this delta and sync it).
