[Bug 1301278] [NEW] Sync python-apt 0.9.3.5 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Julian Andres Klode]

Public bug reported:

Please sync python-apt 0.9.3.5 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

This fixes some bugs:

* The old utils/get_ubuntu_mirrors.py which was replaced by
  utils/get_ubuntu_mirrors_from_lp.py is removed. It is
  completely broken and unused.

* doc/source/conf.py now works with Python 3, for people
  running sphinx under Python 3 (just removing an useless
  'r' prefix from strings)

* The packaging now adheres to the current Python Policy
  WRT X-Python-Version. We still create the Provides for
  python3.4-apt, though (we do not depend on other Python
  modules, so the reasons other don't have the provides
  do not really apply to us)

* apt_pkg.TagFile() throws an exception at some later point
  (usually not directly after the return, because we set
   an exception, but return a normal value) if the file object
  does not have an encoding attribute. [Python 3]

* Dropped the shadowing of "_" in loop variables.

It also removes some Python 2.6 specific code in the test
suite, but that's a minor change that has no real impact.

The mirror lists were also automatically updated from Launchpad
as part of the build process.

Changelog entries since current trusty version 0.9.3.4build1:

python-apt (0.9.3.5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * utils/get_ubuntu_mirrors.py: Drop, its unused and broken
  * doc/source/conf.py: Do not use 'u' and 'r' prefixes together
  * tests: Drop some more Python 2.6 cruft
  * debian/control: Drop X{B,S}-Python-Version and use X-Python-Version
  * debian/pycompat: Drop, it's not used anymore
  * python/tag.cc: Ignore missing 'encoding' attribute in file objects
  * apt/package.py: Do not shadow _
