I had a hard time finding it myself, but it's still shipped with a few Linux distros that have their SVN repository online and indexed by Google. FYI, I fixed a few bugs in the original, added some small features and a wrapper module. If you're compiling for Linux you might need to remove the HAVE_UNION_SEMUN definition from setup.py. (Just learned this yesterday thanks to Eric J. and I haven't updated the documentation yet.) > How about putting it in CheeseShop or some other such repository?
