Helping upstream improve their python packaging would be my preferred solution too. Though as upstream seems busy I'm not sure how long it will take for them to review my proposed patches. [1] Using get-orig-source to retrieve the from their subversion repository looks like a good path as well. (Upstream had said that they were viewing the pypi repository as "partially compiled" so they're more focused on including the auto-generated code than the cython .pyx and swig .i files.) Thank you for the recommendation.
