I'm the principal developer of PyNN and am also in involved in
NeuroTools. I would love to get these tools packaged, but the
steepness of the initial learning curve has always put me off.

 I am at SfN and will swing by the Neuodebian booth later today.

(And yes, I am an Ubuntu user :-)

Cheers,

Andrew
