Hello Mike,

I replied to the bug you linked at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pysolfc/+bug/1967793/comments/8.

On the technical side, a fix seems to be quite straightforward. However
(do note that I am not a lawer), I have concerns regarding the licensing 
approach adopted by the upstream project when embedding a deprecated
python module in their code base. See my comments in the bug for further
reference. We can move this discussion there :)
