Hello Hugo!

You are right, I did not think about it.

This is mostly an automated conversion of the Py3 source code, so I have freedom over the choice of the licence and I will add the original PSF licence as required.

Do you have any preference on which licence should I use?

I could go with PSF as well, or MIT, or whatever you propose, though I would avoid GPL.

Thanks

Stefano

BTW, currently this is a 2.* backport only, but python statistics is missing as well in py < 3.4

I personally don't like the idea of adding six / future dependencies for such a simple library backport, so I'd rather:

• manually do necessary compatibility tweaks
• have two statistics py file in here, and a dynamic setup.py to install the correct one
• have two separate packages (py-statistics3 would be the py3<3.4 version)

There does not seem to be synthetic best practices for this - different packages do different things...

I haven't looked into this in detail yet as I do not use pre 3.4 python - If you don't need it either, I might just skip it.
Otherwise if you have any opinion or preference I'll try and go that way.

Thanks again
Stefano

BTW^2 - i just discovered there's also a "backports.statistics" projecy on pypi/github, which uses the backports namespace:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/backports.statistics/0.1.0

I have no strong feelings regarding what option is best, but I thought I'd let you know!

Added PSF license #6367a160 and #4f03a8d5

Hi Stefano,

Sorry for the very late answer...

Normally, the fact that your backport is not Python 3 compatible shouldn't be a problem (Debian Stretch has 3.5).

Thanks for your work.

Could we please have the license file added to the MANIFEST.in? That way downstream packagers can make sure to include the license in their packages so as to be compliant with the licensing terms.

Awesome. LGTM. Thanks @stefanocrosta.

Thanks ! python-statistics is now available on Debian.

I think we can close the issue now.

[stefanocrosta]

Great!!

I'll be here if anything else is needed ;-)

thanks!
