Hi, I assumed that the Python3 package would just have been missing in the Debian packaging and thus touched python-lzma. I learned that there are several syntax errors when trying to build with Python3 so this seems to be upstream orphaned code. Since I can not really imagine that it should be hard to deal natively with XZ compressed files when using Python3: Am I missing something and there is a competing module?
Since I polished python-lzma I uploaded the package anyway with new Vcs fiels and other polishing stuff. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
