[Python-modules-team] Bug#970519: python3-cherrypy3: Binary package should include include cherrypy/test/helper.py and cherrypy/test/webtest.py

[Patrik Dufresne]

Package: python3-cherrypy3
Version: 8.9.1-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When trying to package Rdiffweb see ITP #969974, I'm facing an issue because
the unit test in Rdiffweb depends on cherrypy/test/helper.py and
cherrypy/test/webtest.py. While trying to build the package, the Rdiffweb's
unit test are failing because of missing modules.

The cherrypy documentation is pointing toward those helper modules to automate
and ease the unit test creation. Thus it's the recommended way to write unit
test. For this reason, I'm asking to include those two files as part of the
binary distribution.
