Comment 5 for bug 474734

Thanks for the patch. I've sponsored this, so it should build and be available for Natty shortly.

In the future, if you've already prepared your change as a bzr branch, it's easier if you propose merging that branch into the Ubuntu branch instead of subscribing ubuntu-sponsors to the bug (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/SeekingSponsorship. Note that you should only ever need to do one - create a merge proposal or subscribe sponsors)

I am a little concerned about the long-term maintainability of this package, since it hasn't seen any upstream updates in almost 3 years. More urgently, though, I'm concerned about its dependence on Numeric. The Numeric module was replaced by NumPy almost 5 years ago, and I'm confident that it's only a matter of time before Numeric is removed from Ubuntu. I think it would be very productive to update ggz-python to use NumPy, especially if you can get in touch with upstream and coordinate such a patch with them.
