Bug#500867: RFP: python-pyhyphen -- Python wrapper for libhyphen
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
The rst2pdf utility (see #496864) can apparently do much better
hyphenating when the pyhyphen library is installed. In fact, rst2pdf
currently has some bugs[0] that make hyphenating break entirely unless
pyhyphen is present.
Packaging this turns out to be a nightmare, because setup.py does
horrible things[1], and I don't have enough Python-fu to tell it to
use libhyphen-dev instead of the convenience copy.
