Hi Muammar,

The reason for that it's not in, is because of the dependency on protobuf 3.0, 
which
is not yet in Debian. See https://bugs.debian.org/795841


However, I made an attempt now today to restore protobuf 2 support in the 
newest pychromecast
version. You can have a look here:
  
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/python-modules/packages/pychromecast.git/log/?h=before_protobuf3_in_debian
 or clone with:
  git clone 
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/python-modules/packages/pychromecast.git -b 
before_protobuf3_in_debian


Perhaps we could get that into Debian. Note that we can only make Python 2 
packages since
python-protobuf is only for Python 2 so far.
