Subject: Broken API on new version

Date: Mon, 21 May 2012 15:20:56 +0200

Package: python-prettytable
Version: 0.6-1
Severity: grave

The new version of python-prettytable use an other API than the 0.5.
Extract of the changelog: 
* Replaced all setter methods with managed attributes

The new API breaks old script and has border effect on other applications
like weboob (http://packages.debian.org/sid/weboob). The example script is 
broken too:

$ python /usr/share/doc/python-prettytable/examples/prettytable-example.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/doc/python-prettytable/examples/prettytable-example.py", line 20, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/share/doc/python-prettytable/examples/prettytable-example.py", line 9, in main
    x.set_field_align("City name", "l") # Left align city names
  File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/prettytable.py", line 163, in __getattr__
    raise AttributeError(name)
AttributeError: set_field_align

Please consider to warn users about changes, or to provide compatibility with old 
versions. Upstream doesn't provide release note to help the upgrade.

this is somehow possible for 0.* modules/libraries.

I was working with upstream to release also documentation along with
the code. it should have been done with 0.6 release but there were
some problems. Next will have upstream doc with it, I'll close this
bug at that time.

Hi,

> I'm closing it now, no need to wait.

I did not understand, do you really think that the package is ready for 
an acceptable upgrade to wheezy? There are still no warning message by 
upgrade, and no documentation is provided.

Having incompatible changes, knowingly breaking packages in main, isn't
something that looks acceptable. Restoring severity and reopening.

Hi,

for information, the (probably not exhaustive) list of affected package is:
 * weboob for version < 0.d (0.c in Debian, also, break Debian version).
 * python-cloudservers (file cloudservers/shell.py, use obsolete printt)
 * python-novaclient/python-keystoneclient < 1:2012.1-2.


And there are some others side effects in this HowTo:

Hi,

I stumvled upon this bug report during the BSP in Essen.

What is the current state? I did one obvious test and found that in 
testing, the example script works.

Does this issue still break other packages? Please report un an 
understandable manner what is still broken and what isn't.

Yes, due to the 0.6.1-1 upload, which contains the following changelog
entry:

debian/prettytable-example.py
     - update for new 0.6 release

> Does this issue still break other packages? Please report un an

Following up on message #36:

• weboob is fixed in 0.c-4.1
• python-novaclient is fixed in 1:2012.1-2
• python-keystoneclient is fixed in 2012.1-2
• python-cloudservers: still broken (from looking at the code and
  trying to run shell.py:print_list())

I am re-assigning this bug to python-cloudservers as it is the only
remaining package which is broken. The only alternative, which is
changing python-prettytables to include compatiblity code is a
non-trivial task AFAICT.

Thomas: Since you have previously NMU'd python-cloudservers, could you
maybe have a look at it and port it to the new API? If not, please tell
me ASAP so that we can move forward in some other way :-).

Subject: Should we even keep python-cloudservers in Wheezy?

Date: Mon, 03 Dec 2012 22:58:09 +0800

Hi,

Rackspace has started to switch everything to Openstack, starting the
new service last April. All new customers are now using Openstack
instead of their old proprietary compute service. If I remember well,
their plan is to help every customer to move to Openstack, and they
hoped to have everyone migrated within a year.

So, it is my opinion that if nobody fixes python-cloudservers, it
shouldn't be so much of a big deal to have it removed from Wheezy.
People still running on the old Rackspace cloud could still get the
version from Squeeze, and Squeeze will anyway be maintain for a year
after Wheezy is out.

Soren, what do you think? Do you agree with the above? Or do you think
you can, and want, to continue maintain python-cloudservers for the life
of Wheezy?

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)

P.S: I agree that downgrading python-prettytable in Wheezy would be a
pretty bad move at this time.
