The Python bindings are not really maintained much by upstream. It is possible
to build the module for Python3 and I have placed the required changes for
this in the Vcs debian/experimental branch.
But there are still some problems in the way how the binary strings must be
handled for two function (decodeImage, encodeImage). I hope to be able to
discuss this with upstream.
If upstream decides not to support python3 (or pyton at all), I might have to
remove this package from Debian. But at the moment, there are now reverse
dependencies to this package in Debian and the python-exactimage popcount is
declining.
Kind regards,
Sven
