the single remaining blocker is still the incompatibility with the
Python interface LIBSVM, Version 2.9 and higher.

I offered some compatibility patches upstream [0] which restore the
original functionality, but it's mostly just a hack, and I recommended
against having them included. Rather, upstream (or somebody else with
more knowledge of pybrain's internals) should rework the
pybrain<->LIBSVM bridge to accomodate for the LIBSVM 2.9+ changes.

Upstream was very cooperative in the past, they just had a manpower
problem (at that time, at least). If you're willing to take a shot at
it, you might be able to help them out with either proper use of LIBSVM,
or a switch to scikits-learn (see [0] again).

Either way, [1] should contain a fairly complete packaging. I haven't
updated it in a while, but as I recall everything was fine, except for
the LIBSVM thing.

If you're interested in co-, group or team-maintainership, let me know!

Regards,
Christian
