It breaks calyso as well which I'd rather see in the archive than removed. The bug is fixable. Someone needs to sit down and cook a patch. I have it on the TODO list but work is piling up at the moment - but I hope to get it done til the end of the year. Somebody uploading 0.8.x for python2 would be another option. Cheers, -- Guido
