Join the Debian Python Modules Team

A few weeks ago the Debian Python Modules Team has been created to collaboratively maintain packages of Python modules.

The upcoming changes are a good opportunity to invite all maintainers of python modules to join the team : - python 2.1 and 2.2 have been dropped from unstable [4] - python 2.4 will shortly be the default python version - the packaging will probaly evolve to facilitate transitions - python 2.5 alpha has been published

The team will work very much like the Debian Perl Group[1] and the goals are similar except that we're going to work on python modules ;-)

Please check out the little documentation: http://python-modules.alioth.debian.org/python-modules-policy.html

If you want to join the team, please read the above document. Basically you need to subscribe to [e-mail:debian-python@lists.debian.org] and ask there to be added to the python-modules alioth project[2]. Instructions on how to use the subversion repository[3] are in the documentation above too.

There's also a #debian-python channel on OFTC where you can discuss with some members of the team.

Every maintainer of python module is welcome in the team !

Cheers,
