Aye, the new package looks very good.
Just a question, why does your orig.tar.gz have a different md5sum then
the one on pypi? Did you repackage it? The general rule of thumb is to
avoid repackaging and using the original upstream tarball where
possible (and here it looks like it is possible).

I setup the License field in the pkg-info file, also i did some change to setup.py.
those are the changes that i maked to the upstream source.
and i think that was not really necessary.

The orig.tar.gz looks to be the same as the original upstream tarball.

Said that, I see no more problems with the package, and would upload it
as soon you exchange the tarball. 

On another topic, do you know of any decent whois implementation in
Python? One that can whois domains and IPs and tell me the abuse-email
or the name of the owner (so one that can actually parse the output,
not only display me the text-blob)?

There is rwhois (https://sourceforge.net/projects/rwhois/) a recursive whois client that
can parse records into usable objects, but i never use it and it seems to be outdated because
last update was the 23th April, 2003.

You know Evgeni this is a nice idea and must to be translated to a serious project
"developing whois python lib"  :)
and python miss this module.

Regards,

Evgeni
