python-profiler not in Trisquel 5.0
- Anmelden oder Registrieren um Kommentare zu schreiben
Hi,
I tried to use the (GPL 2) Python program 'Traipse' [1] today but it
crashed indicating that module pstats could not be found. There is an
extant Ubuntu bug for this [2] against Python 2.4 & 2.5 which claims
that pstats is non-free. However on checking the code at Python.org
it appears that in Python 2.7 both profile.py [3] and pstats.py [4]
are now under the Apache License 2.0 which is an FSF approved license.
Could someone point me at the process for getting package
python-profiler for python 2.7 reviewed and included in Trisquel as
the pstats is module is part of Python Core. I'm prepared to do the
license checking etc. if once more someone will point me at the 101
for doing this.
Thanks in advance - Andrew / Leny

It's fixed upstream, see http://bugs.python.org/issue12417 for details.

It would be better to just not remove it and have it in the package with
Python and the rest of its standard library. (Non-Debian-based distros
which I know do this, although Parabola GNU/Linux-libre also patches
these modules and their documentation to have newer licensing notices.)
