However, I have some comments to add. python-xlib's upstream is http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net/, and the last official release was made 2007-10-02, as such it is highly unlikely that upstream supports Python 3. However Ubuntu has a python3-xlib package; it would appear that Ubuntu have made changes (whether good or bad I don't know) to support Python 3, and these have not made there way back to the Debian version. As far as I can tell, there never has been a python3-xlib package in Debian. Regards
