My understanding of this is that it is a program that was written to 
help its author tweak the regex that denyhosts uses (which was written 
by the same guy). Its main attraction is that it speaks the identical 
language as denyhosts making it the tool of choice for tweaking those 
particular regexes. Another way of saying this is that pcretest helps 
with this process, but I think that kodos will help better. (The author 
says it does anyway and his reputation is sound.)

So you're indicating that possibly this could be a kodos.info package 
instead of a kodos-py.info package if I understand you correctly.

As it happens, using Kurt's kodos-py.info does tend to help with its 
dependencies on pyqt-py, sip-py, and python-py, but certainly those 
could be hard-coded as well.

For my part, I would just like to package it in an acceptable fashion 
and I really appreciate the guidance I'm getting.
