FWIW, although all this separation into 'programming language' vs 'domain' is somewhat superficial and debtags are probably newer/better way to do it, indeed, unless there is python{,3}-spykeviewer packages it would be better to just list spykeviewer package under science section. I bet Robert will do it in some next upload. Cheers, -- Yaroslav O.
