Hi, again.

When I submitted the package I thought the checks where passing at least
it was building without errors for version 3.4.0.  I see that you are
using another build system and you updated the version. I'm trying your
patch out and I see the failures during the check phase.

At first sight I would not know how to fix any of this. I'm not very
experienced with python in general. If I find the problem I will send an
updated revision.
