[Python-modules-team] Bug#589975: python-traits: isn't compatible with python2.4, please boost up XS-Python-Version for >=2.5

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: python-traits
Version: 3.4.0-1
Severity: minor


Just for clarity

I am trying to see if it could be easily backported into lenny, it failed to
build due to import of absolute_import from __future__, which became available
only in 2.5.

With boosted XS-* package does build fine

P.S. Also there is a strong Depends on python-enthoughtbase.
     As far as I could see upon quick look, it just imports:

try:
    from enthought.etsconfig.api import ETSConfig
except:
    # If the ETSConfig package is not available, fake it:
    class ETSConfig ( object ):
 ...


So, theoretically it can be used without python-enthoughtbase (I would prefer
trying porting that one to lenny as well for my needs), why not to place
it into Recommends?
