Python bindings for libparted?

I'm looking for a way to interact with the GNU libparted library from Python, but so far what I've found, a GSOC project from 2005 and an Ubuntu/debian package that's been dropped from the archive, have been disheartening.

Is there something I'm missing, or should I just get used to manipulating libparted from the command line / trying to fix the bitrot that's occurred in the other packages?

+2 A:

The reason debian dropped the package is lack of a maintainer. If you are willing (and able) to maintain the existing package and become their maintainer that would be a great contribution to FOSS.

Yeah, I already maintain two packages in debian but I'm not much of a C programmer; upstream has gone out of business and I don't have the technical skill to adopt it. (it doesn't even compile OOTB on Ubuntu Jaunty)

You can try using SIP to generate a Python binding for it. It works for QT so it may work for libparted.

You mean like PyParted?

Ah, yes. That's what I was looking for, I just couldn't find it among the other unmaintained and abandoned projects.
