[Python-apps-team] Bug#835144: fresh upstream (4.5.0) is available - may be helps to resolve FTBFS issues

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: mayavi2
Version: 4.4.3-2.1
Severity: wishlist

mayavi2 just got removed from testing (and thus python-mne I maintain was removed),
due to

#830342 [S|  |  ] [src:mayavi2] mayavi2: FTBFS: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'find'

and Bug #830377: python-traits: FTBFS: dh_auto_test: pybuild --test -i python{version} -p 2.7 returned exit code 13   in python-traits

if looking at mayavi2, I just saw that new upstream is available:

$> uscan --report
uscan: Newest version of mayavi2 on remote site is 4.5.0, local version is 4.4.3
uscan:    => Newer package available from
      http://pypi.debian.net/mayavi/mayavi-4.5.0.tar.bz2

so thought it might be a good reason to look into uploading it, and possibly
addressing at least #830342 ? (didn't check)

Let me know if you need help
