--- Comment #1 from Mads Kiilerich mads@kiilerich.com 2009-07-25 20:58:58 EDT --- Neither summary of description or upstream web site or any documentation or comments in the source could help me understand what the module in this package does.
Reading the code reveals that it is about returning the dict of one python module optionally overruled by another. It seems like the intention is that it can be used for simple configuration systems where the defaults can be overridden by local settings made in a py file.
The library is very small - only 26 lines of code but exposes a complex and very specific API. For most practically purposes I would say that the same functionality can be achieved in simpler and better ways.
I don't see why anybody should use this library. If they do then they would probably include a copy in their source and extend and customize it to their needs.
I don't think having this as a Fedora package is a good idea.
