[Python-modules-team] Bug#587221: python-pisa: Missing Dependencey on python-pkg-resources

[robert pogson]

Package:python-pisa

When I installed and ran xhtml2pdf I get an error message about
pkg_resources.
I show the error here by deleting the package, python-pkg-resources, and


re-running the formerly successfully completed task. This seems to be
another
instance of a similar problem in other packages, e.g.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544561

Traceback (most recent call last):


  File "/usr/bin/xhtml2pdf", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources

I suggest adding a Depends on python-pkg-resources.

Thanks
