Description Michał Górny archtester

pyliblzma installs 'lzma' module that is incompatible with the same-named module of Python 3.3+. As a result, it randomly wreaks havoc in programs not written to account for its existence and it will never support Python 3. Besides, it's dead.

Please look into the possibility of making this package work with the built-in 'lzma' module of Python 3 and/or dev-python/backports-lzma that uses a separate (safe) namespace and a compatible API.
