Has Debian abandoned Python?
Python3 was released upstream exactly 1 year ago, but Python3.* still hasn't been released in Debian Unstable. Hell, even the even older Python2.6 is not there yet. I appreciate all the hard work that needs to done to maintain packages, but if you're going to maintain packages as important as these, take some responsibility already and make the effort! Or otherwise, let someone else do it (like me). Does Debian even have a roadmap for Python? If there is any, I'm not seeing it. At least be transparent about your tardiness.

Specifically, what solutions to what problem(s)? "Please give us some time" doesn't quite cut it when more than a year has already passed without so much as a shred of information or a reply from the maintainer to emails sent. When applying open source software why not also apply open decision making? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

You could build a subsystem that took the HDCP protected content from the BR drive and passed it in the clear to the video output. One of the biggest markets I can see is a small "repeater" box that sits between the output from the BR player and the screen, which passes a non HDCP signal to non certified screens, eg older but high ress ones. In the end, its not really about BR, its about any content, and breaking the end to end encryption. http://xkcd.com/129/ ;) > Cheers -- Regards, Angus Hedger Debian GNU/Linux User PGP Public Key 0xEE6A4B97 signature.asc Description: PGP signature
