#11045 — Team uploaded python-lzma - any hint how to deal with xz compressed files when using Python3

Hi,

I assumed that the Python3 package would just have been missing in the
Debian packaging and thus touched python-lzma.  I learned that there are
several syntax errors when trying to build with Python3 so this seems to
be upstream orphaned code.  Since I can not really imagine that it
should be hard to deal natively with XZ compressed files when using
Python3:  Am I missing something and there is a competing module?

Since I polished python-lzma I uploaded the package anyway with new
Vcs fiels and other polishing stuff.

Kind regards

       Andreas.

I am not sure what you are asking here, sorry.

Something to do with the Debian packaging or whether there are
other Python libraries for dealing with compressed files?

If the latter, then debian-python is probably off-topic for such
general Python questions, but diffoscope happens to be using
libarchive.

I sneaked in some packaging relevant information (python-lzma
packaging) to take the freedom to ask some OT-question (without
marking it OT).  Your hint to libarchive was helpful.

Thank you

        Andreas.

please don't remove -dbg packages, -dbgsym packages are useless for us, AFAICT
(python{,3}-foo-dbg packages contain modules for Python debug
interpreter, something that -dbgsym packages do not provide)

OK, noted for the future.  Do you think I should re-add it to
python-lzma?  I'd bet that this long unattended Python2 package
will most probably not cause any real wish for debugging - for
sure I might be wrong.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
