Can someone NMU bug 151464 in zope-zpatterns?

[Thomas Viehmann]

Hi.
(I'm not on debian-python, so I'd appreciate CC's.)
I thought this might be the place where I could get help.
I've submitted  a while ago.
I wonder whether some developer who knows python and/or zope could NMU.
Another user just mailed me about the bugreport, because he had the same 
problem and so I thought maybe someone could actually do something about it.

Regards
Thomas

I'll assume, then, that the security.d.o packages are fine unless someone
from -python tells me otherwise.  Please notify me promptly if they need to
be fixed.

Good shot, but the latest mailman in woody (2.0.11-1woody2) depends on
python and python depends on python2.1 (>= 2.1.3-1), so I think there is
something weird here.

I'm bringing this discussion on debian-python. Please drop debian-devel
on followups.

ok, fine. "hope to release ..." is a bit long. I'll prepare packages
making 2.2 the default, introducing experimental 2.3 packages and drop
1.5.

which is why I wanted to make 2.2 the default for woody... we have a
stable 2.2.1, which is not the default.

Try www.python-in-business.org.  It's a Swedish non-profit created
earlier this year.
