Ahhhh, thanks for opening my eyes. ;-)

May be the clue is to make this python3-ish ...

On the other hand, this might mean that the original packager Mathieu
Malaterre intentionally had created a module.  Mathieu, can you please
enlighten us about your intention?  The package has a few users
according to popcon but my capacity to keep your leftovers alife is
limited and without some clear statement about your packaging intentions
it is a bit hard to do a sensible Python3 move.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
