Thx Adrian & Jamie!

It would be great to get it into Debian, yes. I will have a look at Debian =
packaging if we
don't find a more capable volunteer in the next few weeks.
Thanks for your initial work on this.

While we're at it: I heard that there are some build scripts for Arch and G=
entoo around.
If you authored one of these step forward: I'd gladly include them to the g=
it repo.

I have seen this before yes. It seems to be a problem with the python distr=
ibution on
debian. Apparently, you have two different versions of the argparse module =
installed: As
of 2.7, argparse is part of the standard lib, but debian ships a separate p=
ackage
python-argparse.

What happens is that I import argparse to alot, which happens to pick the o=
ne from
"/usr/lib/python2.7/argparse.pyc". Now zope (a 2nd order dependency) explic=
itly imports
"/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/argparse.pyc" and warns that its overload=
ing this
namespace.

Also see https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/distribute/+bug/810019 f=
or a
similar problem with python-distribute, particularly comment #9.

Best,
