[Python-modules-team] Bug#890738: pydispatcher: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: pydispatcher
Version: 2.0.5-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: buildpath

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that pydispatcher could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the docs contain absolute build paths. A hacky
patch is attached; pydoc seems so ancient/weird it seems a little
pointless to fix itself..
