[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#605967: virt-manager: uses its own old version of IPy.py, when it should be using IPy from python-ipy.

[david b]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.8.4-8
Severity: important

I wasn't sure which level of Severity to assign to this, so I put it as 'important'.


So looking in the virt-manager source --> virt-manager-0.8.4/src/virtManager:
We have this  "IPy.py". If we run it ... we get a number of test failures. ( ... ***Test Failed*** 9 failures.)
Virt-manager shouldn't be using its own IPy.py, in debian there already is python-ipy ...
A  quick grep for where it is used turns up the following:

grep "IPy"  *
createnet.py:from virtManager.IPy import IP
network.py:from virtManager.IPy import IP

I note that the packaged IPy(python-ipy) passes its own doctests.
