Bug#888481: RFP: python-zarr -- chunked, compressed, N-dimensional arrays for Python

[Antonio Valentino <antonio.valentino@tiscali.it>]

Dear Ghislain,
I will be happy to take in charge the packaging of zarr, it is now also
needed by satpy which is in debian-gis.
Anyway I will need a sponsor for the upload.


kind regards
antonio
