Initial packaging for python-mapnik is available on Alioth:

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/python-mapnik.git

Unfortunately the code in the python-mapnik git repository is not
compatible with mapnik 3.0.0-RC3.

It currently fails to build with:

src/mapnik_font_engine.cpp:37:37: fatal error:
 mapnik/util/singleton.hpp: No such file or directory

This header is no longer included in mapnik 3.

Kind Regards,

Bas
