I agree on splitting the source package into the legacy Python 2 version and a recent Python 3 version. I looked at your fork in your personal namespace. It looks good to me. Since this package is team maintained, will you merge the changes and upload them (unless Sandro says something against it)? I like to open a freeze exception bug in Ubuntu and get this solution synced to Ubuntu. -- Benjamin Drung System Developer Debian & Ubuntu Developer ProfitBricks GmbH Greifswalder Str. 207 10405 Berlin Email: benjamin.dr...@profitbricks.com URL: https://www.profitbricks.de Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 125506 B Geschäftsführer: Achim Weiss, Matthias Steinberg, Christoph Steffens
