[Python-modules-team] Bug#935202: python-apptools: skip python2 tests

[Steve Langasek]

Package: python-apptools
Version: 4.4.0-3
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu eoan ubuntu-patch

Dear maintainers,

In Ubuntu we are in the process of trying to unwind the reverse-dependencies
of python-pandas, because it is RC-buggy there and not worth fixing.

The python-apptools package has a build-dependency on python-pandas, which
it uses only for testing.

As a result, I've uploaded the attached patch to Ubuntu, which drops the
build-dependency and skips the tests for python2, which can be done much
more straightforwardly right now than unwinding all of the python-apptools
reverse-dependencies.

Please consider applying this patch in Debian as well.

You might also find that several other python2 build-dependencies could be
dropped if you are not running the tests at build time.
