Dear Debian Python, As you may be aware, I have been making quite a bit of hue and cry about the Python 2.6 transition blocking bugs[1]. I have managed to submit patches for most of the packages to _make them build_ with Python 2.6. However, as Paul Wise righly points out[2], my patches merely make the packages build; I haven't really tested any of these packages with Python 2.6 (In fact, I observe that fonttools is dependent on python-numpy, which is not yet built with python 2.6, so I shouldn't have sent that patch at all!). So, in my opinion, it would be best if the maintainer, or someone who can invest time into verifying that these packages do work with Python 2.6, performs uploads to fix the blocking bugs.
Thanks!
