[Python-modules-team] Debian Sagemath dependencies

[RS Chakravarti]

I don't know enough to help in this except by making comments like this!

Hope you find it helpful.



It seems to me that sagemath need not depend on python

which is a dependency package.

Its dependence on python2.5 should be enough.

Similarly, python-processing could be included in Squeeze/Sid

with dependence on python2.5 instead of python.



The major job of adapting to python2.6 can be postponed,

at least for a little while.

What this needs is a newer version of sagemath packaged. This is a major job that, last I 

heard, the maintainer did not have time for. If you are interested in the package, you 

might consider contacting him and asking to help.
