  Description     : Live Coding with Python

  FoxDot is a Python programming environment that provides a fast
  and user-friendly abstraction to SuperCollider. It also comes
  with its own IDE, which means it can be used straight out of the
  box; all you need is Python and SuperCollider and you're ready to go!

I would be very happy to see it on Debian.

I don't know if I have experience enough (I've never packaged python
things) but I can help on it.

Thanks for opening this bug Josue ;)

I note that the GitHub repo suggests that FoxDot is unmaintained:

https://github.com/Qirky/FoxDot

   I am no longer actively developing FoxDot and will only be making minor
   changes to the code in response to issues / pull requests in this time.

So you might want to talk to upstream about the situation. Maybe they
should create a LiveCoding GitHub organisation, invite other people and
projects and move maintenance of FoxDot to the new organisation.

Great idea Paul,

I've created a Issue on Github about it.
