[Python-modules-team] Bug#679970: python-pyglew: package description review

[Justin B Rye]

Package: python-pyglew
Version: 0.1.2-4+b6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

The package description for python-pyglew has quite a few typos and
other language errors.

> Description: GLEW bindings for Python
>  PyGLEW is the Python-bindings for the excellent OpenGL Extension Wrangler

Surely PyGLEW is the software that provides Python bindings (no hyphen
required)?

>  (GLEW), a library that handles initiliazation of OpenGL extensions.

Spelling: s/initiliazation/initialization/

>  .
>  This Python wrapper over GLEW will let that library to initializate and check

Grammar: s/let to/let/
No such word: s/initializate/initialize/

>  availability of extentions, and then to freely use them in a Python code.

Spelling: s/extention/extension/ (repeated below)

The same grammar error: s/to //

A different grammar error: s/in a Python code/in Python code/

>  .
>  In addition, there are many extentions needed by other tools, like pygpu.

"There are" is ambiguous here: you don't just mean "Xs exist, which
are needed by Y", you're saying "this package provides Xs that are
needed by Y".

Since you're talking about the software project, not the contrib
software package python-pygpu, it should have the upstream standard
capitalisation, "PyGPU".

So my suggested version is:

| Description: GLEW bindings for Python
|  PyGLEW provides Python bindings for the excellent OpenGL Extension Wrangler
|  (GLEW), a library that handles initialization of OpenGL extensions.
|  .
|  This Python wrapper over GLEW lets that library initialize and check
|  availability of extensions, and then freely use them in Python code.
|  .
|  It also provides many extensions needed by other tools, such as PyGPU.
