reporting python package bugs

I just took the plunge and added [testing], [community-testing] and [multilib-testing] to pacman and updated 102 packages, including, of course, the Big Python Move of 2010. Nothing is broken (yet) except for calibre, or actually, python-cssutils-beta found in AUR. For AUR files that break with /usr/bin/python calls, should it just be reported on the AUR page?

Re: reporting python package bugs

Yes, report to the AUR page to its maintainer. Submit a patch if you can (sometimes its as easy as grepping for /usr/bin/env python or /usr/bin/python and changing to python2, or calling the .py scripts with python2 explicitly).
