[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1083564: psychopy: (build-)depends on deprecated module python3-pkg-resources

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Hi Jon,

LONG TIME no byte or beer exchange! I hope you are doing splendid across
the pond and our paths would still cross in real-life some time!

It seems that the issue is that we package sources from

https://github.com/psychopy/psychopy

but they are insufficient to run psychopy "app", and we also need
to package 

https://github.com/psychopy/psychopy-app

since that is what it relies on to start the `psychopy` overall. BUT on
that github repo description it says

    This is the code for the Python-written PsychoPy Application (now being replace by PsychoPy Studio)

so I decided to ask -- what is the status of that Studio and either we
should look into psychopy-app packaging or right away go after that
studio? (I guess https://github.com/psychopy/psychopy-studio ).

Cheers
