[Python-modules-team] Bug#804558: tweepy: FTBFS: ImportError: No module named {unittest2, vcr}

[Carl Chenet]

Hi Miguel,

First of all, happy new year 2016!

We have a RC bug for Tweepy in Debian because the unittest2 and/or vcr
Python modules are not packaged for Debian, so the package build fails
while trying to execute the unit tests of Tweepy and my packages
depending on python3-tweepy can not go to Testing.

Tell me if I'm wrong but unittests executions are not mandatory by
Debian policy while building a Debian package.

While waiting that somebody packages unittest2 and/or vcr for Debian,
could you disable the unit tests while creating the Debian package of
Tweepy? I've 2 more Debian package coming up and depending on
python3-tweepy so that would help me *a lot*.

Tell me if you need that I push the modifications in the debian/rules (I
guess it's a simple override).

Cheers,
