So the package is out-of-date and the new version does not build? Could be a reason why it is not updated...

I recall Blender not having support for python 2.6 at some point (while we had 2.6). It seems some folks have now successfully built Blender with 2.6 support, but it seeems woefully unofficial.

I wonder what can be done about that.

Doesn't Blender 2..49a have Python 2.6 support by default? At least the Windows downloads on blender.org come with Python 2.5 OR Python 2.6.
