This is indeed way clever than an entire patch to fix something so simple. :-)
Done[1].

You mean that maybe it's better if we add an override instead of a workaround?

Done[2].

Actually I had consulted it, but not read it entirely. I don't know
why but I thought that the Python 3 requirement was a *nice to have*,
not a *should have*. Anyway, I've updated[3] the build system to use
Python 3.
I noticed that the test suite wasn't being properly executed and sent
a patch to upstream[4]. As soon as a new release is made with this
changed integrated, I'll be adding support for DEP-8 (as suggested by
Barry Warsaw[5] in the last week), as they are functional tests that
depends on the package being installed.
I've uploaded the updated package to mentors.d.n[6], but I guess its
better to wait for a new release integrating the test suite fixes. The
upstream is pretty fast and responsive.
Are you able to sponsor the upload when we finish taking care of those
details? I've filled an RFS (#819289[7]), but forgot to add the
"debian-python" mailing list in "X-Debbugs-CC".

Tiago.
