[Python-modules-team] Bug#817131: Bug#817131: python-flake8: Missing binary

[Joel Cross]

Hi Novy,
 
Ddoes this mean that if I need to use the Python 2 version of Flake8
(for instance, for linting my Python 2 files), that I will need to
install my own binary?
It seems to me that if the package is missing a binary, and that binary
isn't provided by another package, then the package is pretty useless.
