If this is supposed to be a Python package, then you might want to consider naming it python-gdist. > Version : 1.5.5 > Upstream Author : umar haruna abdullahi <umarbrowse...@gmail.com> > * URL : http://www.thevirtualbrain.org/ This links to a website about neuroscience.

Did you file an ITP for that C++ library as well?
