thanks

The following bug has been filed against the glpk package:

* Jeff Abrahamson <jeffa at cs.drexel.edu> [2006-11-27 20:30]:

> Package: glpk
> Version: 4.11-1
> Severity: wishlist
> Tags: patch
> 
> python-glpk seems to be a decent set of python bindings to glpk.
> 
> It would be helpful to add it to the debian glpk package.

However, we think that adding extra code to the glpk source package is not
appropriate.  Actually, python-glpk should be packaged separately.  we are
then reassigning this bug report to wnpp and transforming it into an RFP.

The upstream sources can be found at [1] and are released under the GPL.
