tag 629087 patch
thanks

Miro looks compatible with Python 2.7, and the current build system is
easily tweaked to build for all supported python versions (patch
attached, adds about 10% to the binary package size)
Upstream claims compatibility with >= 2.6.
Since natty, Ubuntu has modified this package to use python 2.7, and I
don't see any bug reports that look caused by it:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/miro
I've had a quick play with the attached patch, and it seems to work fine
with Python 2.7 for me.
