[Python-modules-team] Bug#512049: New upstream release available. Fixes compatibilty with imagemagick in experimental

Hi,

The 0.8 version of pythonmagick is out upstream. Importantly this
version will build against the imagemagick in experimental, which
will hit unstable once lenny is released.

There is one issue you may hit when upgrading. The configure
script (from m4/ax_python.m4) tries to use "locate" to find the path
to the python headers, which fails when updatedb hasn't been run
(in a chroot for example). This can be worked around by passing
"CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/python2.5" to configure, but is brittle
as it leaves a bare "-I" in the call, which can swallow another
argument.

Thanks,

James
