Uploaded...but it looks like it's failing to build on mips now [1];
looks like the same test
(urwid.tests.test_event_loops.TwistedEventLoopTest) that failed wth
urwid/1.2.0-1. The fact that these tests don't consistently fail on
mips(el) is rather annoying. Does anyone know what's going on?

Vincent
