Package: python3-iptables
Version: 0.11.0-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
The following sample code raises MemoryError on all my Debian systems:

MemoryError
Using any other method to create a match (iptc.Match(rule, 'tcp')) or
any other match type ('tcp', 'owner', etc) and other kernels (4.9.0
from testing, old 4.6.0 from testing) gives the same results. This bug
makes it impossible to construct any iptable rule as matches are the
core of it - and this pretty much defeats the purpose of the package.
