PyBitmessage is being developed in the v0.6 branch, that's where you'll
find the commits. The previous comment regarding new dependency on
msgpack was correct. v0.6.2 is planned on being released by the end of
the month. I'll be happy to assist but I'm not on this list, I just
monitor the web for mentions of "bitmessage". For discussing development
of Bitmessage, I recommend using one of the following, in this order:

- The "bitmessage" chan on bitmessage
- https://bitmessage.slack.org
- #bitmessage on freenode

For easier resolving of dependencies, the latest code can also detect
more accurately what sort of OS (including several linux distributions
and BSD variants) it's running on and makes a recommendation for what to
do with your package manager based on that. I don't have GNU Guix in my
test environment now. I can add it but may need assistance as I'm not
familiar with it.

You can also submit a pull request, here are the contribution
guidelines:
