Python module packaging request to help me maintain apt-listchanges



Hello all,

I'm writing to ask for your assistance in getting pytest-subprocess packaged into Debian:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1053360

The use case here is that I've taken over maintenance of apt-listchanges and added among other things a unit-test suite, and I want to make the unit-tests cover as much of the code as possible, and to do that I need to be able to mock out subprocess calls which apt-listchanges does quite a lot of in its work.

I am happy to do most of the work if someone on this list is willing to mentor me, since I've never packages a Python module for Debian before and don't want to screw something up / spin my wheels learning lessons the team already has institutional knowledge of. I imagine that packaging a simple package like this one is probably quick and straightforward for folks who have done it before, so perhaps it would be easier for one of y'all to do it than to guide me through the process, but I leave that choice to your discretion. ;-)

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Regards,

Jonathan Kamens
