It does work, Ubuntu 12.10 is using it. The reason I haven't sent anything upstream is that the solution I am using for the Ubuntu packaging is a bit of a hack, and if I was upstream, I wouldn't accept it.

I need to take some time to clean it up and once I do I will send it along, since various forces are gathering to push GNOME towards python 3 this cycle, and given brltty is an external dependency...
