[Python-modules-team] Bug#800349: python-urwid: please backport upstream performance fix

[Anton Khirnov]

Package: python-urwid
Version: 1.2.1-2+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
the currently packaged version of urwid will update the whole screen on
redraw, even lines that did not change. This is very annoying,
especially when using SSH over a slow link. The problem has been fixed
upstream in a trivial one-line fix
a27dbb8a8e1eea59d7eecb3f4120599eb2c46826
Since we are likely stuck with this version for Jessie, please backport
the fix to it, so it can be reasonably usable over SSH.

Thanks
