This builds fine for me, can it be given back to the test build PPA please?

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

still fails

Upstream bug report: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3408228&group_id=105577&atid=641821

But actually, this is a problem with Python 2.7 and amd64. The package builds just fine for me on i386 with both versions of Python, but under amd64, Python 2.7 gives several failures. I can disable the specific tests when running on amd64 with Python 2.7, but this probably points out deeper problems in upstream. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like much has happened in upstream lately.

Or should we just not build the package for Python 2.7 on amd64?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package guppy - 0.1.9-2ubuntu2

---------------
guppy (0.1.9-2ubuntu2) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Disable tests which are incompatible with Python 2.7 on amd64.
