  Description     : Python driver/interface/wrapper for the LEGO Mindstorms NXT robot

NXT-Python is a package for controlling a LEGO NXT robot using the Python
programming language. It can communicate using either USB or Bluetooth.


The nxt-python package version 2.2.2-4 was removed as it depended on
Python 2, and pygtk2, see https://bugs.debian.org/954889. Also,
upstream development was not active anymore.

The new NXT-Python now use Python 3 and GTK 3.0 (only used for a filer
script) and is now actively maintained by me.

I plan to maintain it inside the Debian LEGO team.

Nicolas.
