Nice. I've create a recipe that builds Spyder automatically.
https://code.launchpad.net/~techtonik/+recipe/spyderlib-daily-master

But.. it seems I got branches wrong. It builds from master
https://code.launchpad.net/~techtonik/spyderlib/master
merges with Debian packaging
https://code.launchpad.net/~techtonik/spyderlib/debian-packaging
and resulting binary has a version 3.1.2.

I created another recipe to work directly with Git branches, but it fails
to build fail at all.

Bug free. Regressions are not good, but it is better to have regressions
and ability install earlier version temporarily than don't have an ability
to install version without bugs.

Sorry. It is about 16.10, not 16.04. The point is to get 3.1.x
releases on Yakkety.
