Bug#480076: RFP: python-arpack -- scipy package providing arpack bindings

[Timothy G Abbott <tabbott@MIT.EDU>]

Package: wnpp
Priority: wishlist

* Package name: python-arpack
* URL: http://scipy.org
* License: Rice BSD license
  Programming Lang: python
* Description: scipy package providing arpack bindings


I have a draft packaging available in the apt repository described at
<http://wiki.sagemath.org/DebianSAGE> that I run for coordinating the
packaging of SAGE for Debian (#455292).

It needs a long description.  There are a few scripts installed to 
/usr/share/python-support/python-arpack/ that have #! lines but are not 
executable causing lintian warnings that we should probably bug upstream 
about.

Since I don't have the time to maintain all 26 source packages I've
created as part of my effort to package SAGE's dependencies for Debian,
I'm looking for someone to adopt this package and maintain it in Debian.
