[Python-modules-team] Bug#675303: python-scitools: Bug in BoxField.py

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Package: python-scitools
Version: 0.8-2
Severity: normal

Hi!

There is a bug in the file BoxField.py, in the function

dolfin_function2BoxField(dolfin_function, dolfin_mesh,
                             division, uniform_mesh=True)

It is referred to a variable "u" which doesn't exist. Looking
at upstream, this seems to have been fixed and references to u
have been replaced with references to "dolfin_function".

However, it would be nice to have this fix in Debian, since I am
not able to run e.g. the example vcp2D.py from the FENICS
pythan tutorial, and a lot of python-dolfin programs might not
work due to this.

As a temporary fix, I will make the necessary
modifications manually in my BoxField.py, and hope that will work.

Thanks
Torquil M. Sørensen
