Re: [Visualpython-users] Idle for VPython

[Floris B. <fb...@so...>]

Just for the record.  Last time I mentioned that I might also make
pythonX.Y-visual packages for Debian.  Having had a go at that now I
discovered that will never hapen (and indeed I didn't see any real
benefit from it, but it was a technical challenge) since
libboost-python-dev is only available for the default Debian Python
version (v2.3 currently).  So I also see no need in shipping Idle.

For those who missed the original message, I have a package
python-visual which does install VPython on Debian.  The source
packages should work in sarge and sid, the binary (only i386 for now,
I can provide sparc if there is intrest) package works on sarge and
only _maybe_ on sid (again, if there is intrest I can provide them for
sid as well with pbuilder).  You can get them from
http://www.soton.ac.uk/~fb102/Debian/

For those checking that place again, there is no need to upgrade to
the 3.0.3-2 version as the package is unchanged.  Only the build
process (debian/rules) is changed a little.

Cheers
Floris
