[Python-modules-team] Bug#614886: merge html2markdown and python-html2text, which are the same upstream?

[Simon McVittie]

Package: python-html2text,html2markdown
Severity: wishlist

html2markdown is version 2.39 of Aaron Swartz' HTML to Markdown converter
"html2text", packaged as an executable script.

python-html2text is version 3.01 of the same HTML to Markdown converter,
packaged as a library (it can also be run as a script, but doesn't have a link
or wrapper in /usr/bin).

Any chance you could merge the two packages into one that provides both modes
of use? According to Debian Python policy it'd have to be called
python-html2text, but it could also provide /usr/bin/html2markdown and have
Provides: html2markdown.

Not to be confused with the html2text Debian package, which, annoyingly,
is a completely different HTML-to-text converter...
