I see that upstream changed the name of Python module from Simpy to simpy (lowercase). This means it's quite easy to make them co-installable (correct me if I am wrong). However, apt tells me that there are only two packages depending on anything from python-simpy source: - science-economics Recommends: python-simpy - mgltools-scenario2 Depends: on python-simpy I think with such a little number of rdepends it's easier to port them than to carry two packages. -- Dmitry Shachnev
