Hi Shell Xu,

I need GFU which does not seem to be supported by the python-snappy
version currently in Debian:

>>> from snappy import GPF
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'GPF' from 'snappy' (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/snappy/__init__.py)


Debian has version 0.5.3 while upstream has 0.6.1.  I realised that the
last two uploads where doen in NMUs.  I'd suggest we move the packaging
in Salsa[1] to Debian Python Team git, and move on with the update from
there.  If I do not hear from you I'll do the suggested move next week.

In any case thanks for introducing this package into Debian.

Kind regards
   Andreas.
