Trying to import ow results in

IndexError: list index out of range
The line which gives an error... couldn't really do otherwise. The problem
comes from the fact that while in previous upstream versions that line looked
like
__version__ = _OW.version( ) + '-%s' % '$Id: __init__.py,v 1.19 2013/03/24
01:23:30 alfille Exp $'.split( )[ 2 ]
, this was changed probably through an automatic replacement which broke
owpython in version 2.9p5.
The same applies to ownet. Attached is a patch which fixes both.
Notice that both are also fixed upstream in version 2.9p7 (exactly in the same
way as my patch). So the optimal fix would be to simply package it. But if
this can't be done in reasonable time, I could (push 2.9p5-1.1 to
collab-maint, and) try to get a new NMU sponsored with my simple patch applied.

+Subject: Only return the OW version.
+
+The python files are currently installed without replacing some
+placeholders such as "$Id$". As a consequence, the parsing ("split()")
+of the version number fails. This horrible hack simply disables it,
+until the real fix is implemented.
