Good to know. It's not that it's a big deal for me (it's one python file after all), I just noticed that Gentoo's ebuild is blowing it away and just requiring/installing mainline pupynere. From a purist standpoint, I don't like having multiple copies of the same code hanging around, but I'm not about to lose sleep over it. It might make your job easier if you could convince Roberto to take those changes upstream. :) It sounds to me, however, that I need to file a Gentoo bug. I will say that pupynere seems to be spreading, but not in a good way. There's the standalone version. Then there's your tweaked version. And there's a (now out-dated) copy in scipy. On a related note, is there any reason that Basemap/pyshapelib couldn't use a system copy of shapelib? Right now, Gentoo's patching the setup.py to do this. I was curious if we could move that upstream.
