[Neurodebian-users] Problem with python-joblib package (0.6.0~b2-1~nd60+1) on debian squeeze

[Florent JAILLET]

Hi,

I'm getting the errors copied bellow when installing the python-joblib 
package from neurodebian on debian squeeze (package version 
python-joblib_0.6.0~b2-1~nd60+1_all.deb).

 From the errors, I guess that the corresponding joblib python module is 
not compatible with python 2.5, and yet links to the module code exists 
in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/joblib.

Trying to import manually the module in python 2.6 and 2.5 after 
installation seems to confirm this:

jaillet.f at tethys:~$ python2.6

 >>> import joblib
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/joblib/logger.py:117: Warning: 'with' will 
become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
Traceback (most recent call last):

     with open(logfile, 'w') as logfile:
             ^

Is this due to a problem in my configuration or is there a problem with 
the package?

Thanks for any help.
