Well, it _was_ distributed with Debian from 2002-11 untill 2003-10,
see http://bugs.debian.org/213124 .

I've found a mirror of your CVS stuff on
http://arch.ubuntu.com/py...@ar... .  (FWIW: one needs tla >=3D
1.3.3 to check this archive out.  With such a GNU Arch client, one can
do

 % tla register-archive http://arch.ubuntu.com/py...@ar...
 % tla get py...@ar.../pyme--MAIN--0 pyme

to get a copy of the archive.  The name will get changed to
bazaar.ubuntu.com one day, I've been told.)

I couldn't find any work from the Ubuntu guys however: the Arch
repository is set up to do CVS imports only.  Ubuntu doesn't yet have a
public repository of its work; they're working on it.

Do you happen to know which Ubuntu-developer is (planning to) work on
the package?

Anyway, I've made some other minor changes to your package.  The result
is now apt-able: Add

 deb http://non-gnu.uvt.nl/debian sarge pyme
 deb-src http://non-gnu.uvt.nl/debian sarge pyme

to your /etc/apt/sources.list, and

 apt-get install python-pyme

gets you going.

If you like my work in a patch, tell me.  I'll likely do some other
minor work on the Debian package soonish:  Check for compliancy with
newer Debian standards than 3.5.2, and deal with {post,pre}{inst,rm}
files.

Bye,

Joost
