Hi! Thanks to Piotr Ozarowski's help, I managed to create a patch which uses python-support for the byte-compilation. This involves:
* Update Build-Depends, rules, magicor.install to put Magicor.py and Magicor-LevelEditor.py in /usr/share/games/magicor * Modifying Makefile.debian to install all Python modules in /usr/share/games/magicor/magicor * Create symlinks for magicor and magicor-edito in /usr/games, instead of copying Magicor.py and Magicor-LevelEditor.py directly. HTH. Please do consider updating the package and fixing the RC bug at the earliest. Kumar -- Kumar Appaiah, 458, Jamuna Hostel, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai - 600 036
