That was what I done. I combined the package from Ubuntu and the work
already done by Michael and prepared a release for Debian but I couldn't
get a sponsor because nobody seemed interested.
The source package is available at
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/parti/parti_0.0.6-1.dsc.
I was planning to try to get a sponsor for this after squeeze release
and maybe later also try to upload it to squeeze-backports.
In my experience, find sponsors in Debian for Python software is hard.
If you can review it and offer feedback, it would be great.
Cheers,
