  Description     : library for generating UML diagrams from a simple text markup language

python-plantuml is a Python library which acts as a remote client
interface to a plantuml server, whereby it defaults to
http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/

The package is no longer maintained, but it is just a tiny script with
just two dependencies: six and httplib2.

Moreover, upstream does not tag their releases, nor provides tarballs
(PyPi also only provides wheels). Fortunately I was able to identify the
commit which was released to pypi from the SHA256 checksum of
plantuml.py and plan on packaging a git snapshot.

python-plantuml is a dependency of [python-markdown-pdf][1].

I'm planning to maintain this package under the Python Team umbrella. I
will need a sponsor for this package.
