[Python-modules-team] python-enable buggy - affecting kiva, chaco and more

[Ilja Gerhardt]

Hi Python-team,

since quite some time (2012!!), we find the chaco package broken in
Ubuntu [1]. The density plots simply don't work [2]. This might be
related to kiva [3]. One workaround is to compile the package w/o the
optimizations [4]. It would be very kind, if you could release an
updated python-enable package, such that we could use python-chaco in
Ubuntu. Presently, we have quite some trouble with this bug!!

Best Regards
