---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
I am the Fedora maintainer of Deluge and recently it was noted the Deluge
bundles the Python implementation of rencode. Could you drop the
bundling? I noticed that it is used as fallback but distributions
generally don't prefer bundling anyway

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries

Also the C version which provides the same interface as Python performs
better

I am pushing a build in Fedora that removes the bundled copy. Thanks

Comment:

I noticed that !Ubuntu/Debian now offer a python-rencode package so this
has become more feasible, although it is still not easy to get hold of the
library for other/older OSs so will see if it can be listed on !PyPi.

Comment (by Cas):

Although rencode is available on PyPi there is still one outstanding bug
that I would like to see resolved before removing from source tarball.
