That's exactly why I have sent it. I can't make it build because
it requires work to be done by someone involved more in python
than I am.
Of course when I wait some more time maybe I'll get the idea,
meanwhile I prefer to keep this "up for grabs", but we both know
that this almost never works out.

I also have an arm package, but I would prefer to get this
distributed rather than arm (arm also requires too much
patching).

I will consider your changes and see if I can fix it some day or
if someone else grabs it. It's all distraction from more
important tasks anyway.
