This is fixed in version 0.1.15, by making Changelog objects iterable (see [bug 539334][1]). You can download the latest version from [p.d.o][2]. Unless you have verified that a bug is not Ubuntu-specific, you should usually use [Ubuntu's bug reporting tools][3] to file bugs against packages in that distribution. I believe there is a mechanism to ask them to sync a package with Debian in order to fix bugs like this one, but I'm not really familiar with it. You mention wanting to get the .changes for a particular version. Currently the Changelog/ChangeBlock class probably exposes enough information to generate such a file, but it doesn't actually generate a .changes file like from 'dpkg-genchanges'. Feel free to file a wishlist bug via reportbug. Patches are always welcome, too. :) If you do work on it, it would probably be ideal if the method returned a debian.deb822.Changes object. Also note that .changes files can (and often do, in Ubuntu's case) contain changes from a range of versions. I hope you have found python-debian useful!
