Package: python3-spyder-line-profiler
Version: 0.1.1-1
Severity: serious
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: python-import

After installing python3-spyder-line-profiler importing the module spyder_line_profiler
into a python interpreter fails with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/spyder_line_profiler/__init__.py", line 12, in <module>

RuntimeError: Please define environment variable $HOME

The vast majority of import failures is attributed to missing dependencies.
Often times that manifests as an ImportError or ModuleNotFoundError.
Typically, dependencies should be inserted by dh-python via ${python:Depends}
or ${python3:Depends}. Thus a missing dependency can be caused by incomplete
install_requires in setup.py. Sometimes a missing dependency of a dependency
is the cause, in such cases this bug should be reassigned.
