clearsilver module is not available for python 2.6

[Lars Kruse]

when I try to use the python clearsilver module with the default python version (2.6) of jaunty, I receive the following error:
 root@cnas-ubuntu:~# python -c "import neo_cgi, neo_util, neo_cs"

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named neo_cgi

doing the same for python2.5 works as expected (without error messages):
 root@cnas-ubuntu:~# python2.5 -c "import neo_cgi, neo_util, neo_cs"

The file listing of the python clearsilver package shows, that only files for python2.4 and python2.5 are installed:
 root@cnas-ubuntu:~# dpkg -L python-clearsilver

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/neo_cgi.so

I guess, the package needs to be rebuild to include python2.6 files as well.

I am getting desperate for this to be fixed. Could I pay someone to prioritize the work?

Upstream version (0.10.5) supports python 2.6, but it won't auto-detect it with ./configure. You can use ./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.6 and it should compile and work. Alternatively, you can just add 2.6 to the list of versions in configure.in and re-generate the configure script.

Newer version of clearsilver upstream should be available in a couple weeks that will auto-detect 2.6 correctly.

Really desperate, you should be able to download the 0.10.5 source from www.clearsilver.net and compile it with ./configure --with-python /usr/bin/python2.6

Fixed in Karmic, with version 0.10.4-1.3ubuntu1
