Thanks!
I just uploaded it to Precise.

That list is getting really short now. The pyparsing one shouldn't be 
too difficult, the wx stuff looks a bit scarier (mostly because of the 
Ubuntu delta).

As a reminder, we only have these left:
  - python-cherrypy3        (python-support) (source: cherrypy3)
  - python-wxgtk2.8         (python-central) (source: wxwidgets2.8)
  - python-wxversion        (python-central) (source: wxwidgets2.8)

Cheers
