In Debian, I see only Pymacs for Python 2.3, bzr needs 2.4 :-(. But by
the time we get something really usable for bzr, probably 2.4 will be
in unstable at least.

True, the baz interface, for example, we clearly need it. But I'm
personnaly not willing to write a parser for bzr commands if we also
write a pymacs interface.
