Hi Peter,

Sorry for the delay.

Strange.  I just ran a test here on oneiric and it worked.

I assume you ran the dependency script under depscripts/ ?
I have python2.6-dev and 2.7-dev installed on my build test setup.

There is libsynthesis, but I'm not that familiar with it.  There are
paid services too, like google and funambol, I think.
