well, there is no upstream for this. Most of the python code comes from a standalone dict server, but I don't see how my version could be useful to that standalone server. The modified code uses dictfmt from dictd to build a dictd-compatible database. The original code builds uncompressed CDB files that are served using a simple python server. I could put it up on my personal homepage, but I don't think that's such a great idea.
