* Package name    : python-serpent
  Version         : 1.8
  Upstream Author : Irmen de Jong
* URL             : https://github.com/irmen/Serpent
* License         : MIT
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : Serpent is a simple serialization python library based on ast.literal_eval

Serpent provides ast.literal_eval() compatible object tree serialization.  It serializes an
object tree into bytes (utf-8 encoded string) that can be decoded and then passed as-is to
ast.literal_eval() to rebuild it as the original object tree.  As such it is safe to send
serpent data to other machines over the network for instance (because only 'safe' literals
are encoded).

Why is this package relevant?  This is a dependency of Pyro4 (see debian bug #745437)

How do you pan to maintain it? It is a single source file (serpent.py) so I hope it will
not be too much work.  This would also be my first package and seems like a good choice for
it.  A mentor would be appreciated.
