[Python-modules-team] Bug#744726: websocket-client should be repacked

[Leo Iannacone]

Source: websocket-client
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

your package seems to be packaged over pip.

You should consider to repack it according with real
upstream source.

Moreover binary package python-websocket should be
renamed to python-websocket-client according with
source name.

Regards,

Leo.

PS: if you want help, I have prepared new package
for this issue.

Hi,

It's a best practice to use whatever upstream provides as a release, and to
avoid gratuitous repackagings. AFAICS, the new upstream release contains most
of the stuff that was missing previously, I'll close that bug when I'll have
uploaded the new version.

No. The Debian Python policy (section 2.2, "Module Package Names")[1] states
that binary packages must be named after the importable module packaged within.
The import statement is "import websocket", therefore the binary package name
is right. I chose the source package name to match the upstream name.
