[Python-modules-team] Exposing numpy.i

[Alastair McKinstry]

Hi,

I'm working on porting some packages to Python3 (grib-api, magics++).
They use swig wrappers.  They are breaking because they include an
obsolete version of numpy.i, which ships interfaces that have been
removed from Python3.

Now, an up-to-date version is included in numpy, sources, but not
shipped in any package by Debian. Also, a quick look on
packages.debian.org shows several other packages have embedded copies of
numpy.i:

https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=numpy.i&mode=path&suite=unstable&arch=any

It would be good to ship one known-good copy of swig interfaces and fix
this issue.

best regards
Alastair McKinstry
