[Bug 1118815] [NEW] Remove python-oauth from the archive

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Utkarsh Gupta (utkarsh) has assigned this bug to your team "Ubuntu Package Archive Administrators" for python-oauth in Ubuntu:

This bug tracks the removal of python-oauth from the archive.  (See also
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-r-
python3-oauth for additional details).

There are several very good reasons to remove python-oauth and port all
reverse depends to python-oauthlib.

 * upstream oauth has been abandoned since 2009
 * upstream oauth only supports OAuth 1 (and probably not even the RFC 5849 standard)
 * upstream oauth only supports Python 2
 * upstream oauthlib is actively maintained
 * upstream oauthlib supports Python 2 and Python 3
 * upstream oauthlib supports RFC 5849 and the OAuth2 spec draft

As of yet, we cannot remove python-oauth because of existing reverse
dependencies.  I'll add each of those as bug tasks to this one for
tracking purposes.  When the time comes, I'll subscribe ~ubuntu-archive
to the bug to do the final deed.

It will need to be blacklisted from Debian sync too.

In the meantime, *please* don't write any new code using python-oauth!
Use python-oauthlib.
