Bug#912632: python-mechanize: breaks calibre, horribly outdated (6 years), please update to 0.3.7

[Norbert Preining]

Package: python-mechanize
Version: 1:0.2.5-3
Severity: important

Dear maintainers of python-mechanize,

the version currently in the archive breaks calibre server
communication, see #867690 as well as 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1471389
There have been many new releases since 2017, the latest is
from 2018-09-11, version 0.3.7. One of the newer versions is
necessary to fix calibre communication bugs.

Please update python-mechanize to something reasonably recent.

Thanks a lot

Norbert
