Thanks for the patch. I've sponsored this, so it should build and be
available for Natty shortly.

In the future, if you've already prepared your change as a bzr branch,
it's easier if you propose merging that branch into the Ubuntu branch
instead of subscribing ubuntu-sponsors to the bug (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/SeekingSponsorship.
Note that you should only ever need to do one - create a merge proposal
or subscribe sponsors)

I am a little concerned about the long-term maintainability of this
package, since it hasn't seen any upstream updates in almost 3 years.
More urgently, though, I'm concerned about its dependence on Numeric.
The Numeric module was replaced by NumPy almost 5 years ago, and I'm
confident that it's only a matter of time before Numeric is removed from
Ubuntu. I think it would be very productive to update ggz-python to use
NumPy, especially if you can get in touch with upstream and coordinate
such a patch with them.

** Changed in: ggz-python (Ubuntu)
