This package is clearly dead, last release 2010. It uses unfortunate 'lzma' module name that is used by Python 3.3+, and therefore it can never be used with Python 3.3+. Furthermore, having incompatible 'lzma' module in Python 2.7 can confuse some applications, see bug #643254. We should look into killing it. The revdeps should either move to the built-in 'lzma' module or dev-python/backports-lzma.

Guys, please do not kill it. This package is required by binwalk (missing dep), see: https://github.com/ReFirmLabs/binwalk/blob/master/deps.sh#L49 https://github.com/ReFirmLabs/binwalk/blob/master/deps.sh#L52 I have opened an issue at upstream in the attempt to resolve it: https://github.com/ReFirmLabs/binwalk/issues/398
