Package: python-pycountry
Version: 0.14.1+ds1-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

At the time of this writing, the latest version of pycountry available in debian
is 0.14, while upstream counts at 1.8[0].

Updating to 1.8 would be great not only because the package is right now
obsolete, but above all for the presence of unittests[1] and python 3 
support[2].
The latter in particular, is going to be used by Tails sooner or later[3].

Trying to be of some help, I have updated the package, and it now resides in
[4]. Will you please be so kind to review it and tell me your opinion?
