Dear Girish,

Debian Squeeze will use python 2.6 as default, and for this reason python-cogent
need to be able to be built and run with it. But currently it is not the case,
as it depends on python2.5-dev.

You can have a look at one of the mgltools bugs to see how to resolve this,
for instance mgltools-bhtree.

If you think that you will not have time to work this out in a timely fashion,
please let us know and I or others will help. The reason for the time constraint
is that Debian is preparing the release of Squeeze, and packages that do not
work with python 2.6 consume time of the release team.

Have a nice day,

Charles
