This is a collection of modules that are for dealing with Debian related data. Each module is documented with it's own README file, or some examples. Currently supported are * Debtags data with debtags.py * Debian changelogs with changelog.py * Packages files and the like with deb822.py * .deb files (and .ar files FWIW) via debfile.py Some of the modules will use python-apt for some of the functions. It should make no difference if it is installed, but if you find a bug installing it might help. If you have a module that is for manipulation or interrogation of Debian specific data then consider adding it to this package. You can discuss it with the maintainers by contacting pkg-python-debian-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org
