(aka > > python-guess-language) The only reason is that the Python 2 version depends on lib3to2 which is not in Debian [0, 1] (but is in NEW [2]). I'd be better of course if the codebase would be simply both Python 2 and Python 3 compatible...

Yes, that's a pity, but I needed the library only for Python 3 and made this choice. Two solutions are possible: 1) wait for 3to2 2) fix the code to work both in Python 2 and Python 3 and push it upstream; guess-language is fairly small, I think it is doable Cheers, Tomasz
