[Python-modules-team] Bug#546847: epsilon FTBFS with python 2.6

[Fabrice Coutadeur]

Package: epsilon
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

epsilon FTBFS with python 2.6, with the following error:
....
Automatically determined setup() args:
{ 'package_data': { 'epsilon': []},
    'packages': [ 'epsilon',
                    'epsilon.test',
                    'epsilon.scripts',
                    'epsilon.hotfixes',
                    'build.lib.linux-i686-2.6.epsilon',
                    'build.lib.linux-i686-2.6.epsilon.test',
                    'build.lib.linux-i686-2.6.epsilon.scripts',
                    'build.lib.linux-i686-2.6.epsilon.hotfixes']}
running build
running build_py
error: package directory 'build/lib/linux-i686-2/6/epsilon' does not exist
make: *** [debian/python-module-stampdir/python-epsilon] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: error: /usr/bin/fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

This is because the epsilon/setuphelper.py script is detecting also the 
temporary build directory.

Here is the patch to fix that:
# patch the search routine to avoid detecting temporary build directory

After fixing this issue, there are still some parts to be fixed. Here are the
