python modules in main

[Matthias Klose]

The following is a list of python modules, which currently are
explicitely seeded for main (development seed), plus suggested demotions
and promotions to universe/main.

Comments, and additional suggestions for demotion/promotions are welcome.

Candidates for demotions:

- python-eunuchs (unmaintained)
- python-elementtree (part of python2.5)
- python-adns (unmaintained in debian, no reverse dependencies)
- python-dictclient (Python client library for DICT (RFC2229) protocol)
  no users (rdepends) seen.
- python-pqueue (unmaintained upstream, ???)
- python-sqlite (old module version)
- python-pysqlite2 (part of python2.5)


Candidates for promotions:

- python-numpy (1.0 release, will replace python-numeric and
  python-numarray in the long term)

- python-avahi (source already in main)
- python-beagle (source already in main)
- python-beautifulsoup, error-tolerant HTML parser for Python
- python-bluez (bindings for packages in main)
- python-bughelper (maybe should be promoted together with bughelper?)
- python-diacanvas2 (bindings for packages in main)
- python-enchant (bindings for packages in main)
- python-hid  (bindings for packages in main)
- python-magic  (bindings for packages in main, from the file source)

- python-imaging-doc-html, python-imaging-doc-pdf (doc for packages
  already in main).

- python-lxml (pythonic binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries)

- python-reportlab-accel (acceleration for python-reportlab, which
  already is in main).

- python-rrd  (bindings for packages in main, rrdtool)

- python-svn (alternative bindings for subversion)
