[mLib-python] / debian / control

Source: python-mlib
Section: python
Priority: extra
Build-Depends: mlib-dev, python, python-pyrex
Maintainer: Mark Wooding <mdw@distorted.org.uk>
Standards-Version: 3.1.1

Package: python-mlib
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${python:Depends}
Description: A library of miscellaneous stuff
 The mLib library provides various handy utilities, including
   * yet another options parser, like GNU getopt but more so;
   * a simple but efficient universal hashing family;
   * a suite for writing event-driven select-based servers;
   * a simple exception-handling system, based on longjmp;
   * dynamically resizing strings and arrays;
   * a resizing hashtable;
   * base64 and hex encoding and decoding; and
   * a simple background DNS resolver.
 .
 Not all of the features of mLib are available (or, indeed, very useful) in
 Python.  For example, Python has its own exception system, and different
 ideas about how strings work.
