  Description     : perform zero-install bootstrapping into other interpreters
 The execnet package allows to:
     * instantiate local/remote Python Interpreters
     * send code for execution to one or many Interpreters
     * send and receive data through channels
 execnet performs zero-install bootstrapping into other interpreters; package
 installation is only required at the initiating side. execnet enables
 interoperation between CPython 2.4-3.1, Jython 2.5.1, PyPy 1.1 and IronPython
 and works well on Windows, Linux and OSX systems.

python-execnet was part of python-codespeak-lib (and with it debian) before
1.1.0. Then it got split out into its own lib, so it could be used by others.
codespeak-lib (py.test) needs execnet for --looponfailing and distributed
testing. However Chris Lamb (DD of codespeak-lib) isn't interested in packaging
it himself, as he doesn't use execnet (see #559042).

If somebody sponsors me, I'll be willing to package it myself.
