pythonxy in ubuntu 12.04

[Mario Rusev]

Hi folks,

I've been trying to add a stable version of pythonxy on Ubuntu 12.04.

First, I followed the instructions for adding the ppa with

https://launchpad.net/~pythonxy/+archive/pythonxy-stable

Then, I did the standard sudo apt-get install pythonxy

mario@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install pythonxy

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

E: Unable to locate package pythonxy

Alas, to no success. I tried to locate the repositories under synaptic package manager and still nothing. Would anyone be willing to give me some hints to how do I put pythonxy under Ubuntu 12.04, or I would have to update to Saucy?

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Mario

Please check in synaptic, you need these packages
ppa:pythonxy/pythonxy-stable
-> python-xy-meta-current

for development code:
-> ppa:pythonxy/pythonxy-devel
python-xy-meta-devel

>or I would have to update to Saucy?

No

Please file this as a bug here:

Aparently there was some renaming:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=raring&section=all&arch=any&keywords=traits+python&searchon=names

I can not look after this before beginning of July.
Maybe you or anther team member could fix it?

Just commit a new version of the file
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~pythonxy/pythonxy/python-xy-meta-current_debian/view/head:/control
with the corrections.

As a workaround
Install the individual packages:
See the "Depends " section of
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~pythonxy/pythonxy/python-xy-meta-current_debian/view/head:/control
