  Description     : Allow Python code to extend built-in types

This package allows Python code to patch built-in objects declared in C.  
It can be used for various purposes such as writing assertion libraries, 
spying on the behaviour of objects, or profiling.


I admit I'm a little scared about ending up responsible for debugging 
this pile of ctypes code ... but it's a dependency of python-blockbuster 
(https://bugs.debian.org/1110998), which is a dependency of 
python-anyio, which is a dependency of all sorts of interesting things, 
so I guess I'll have a go.  I'll maintain it within the Debian Python 
Team.
