Summary0000824: Upgrade to mitmproxy fails
Description

When attempting to upgrade mitmproxy (after performing apt-get update) we get the error:

SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libmproxy/flow.py', 789, 70, ' cookie_parameters = {key.strip().lower():value.strip() for key,sep,value in pairs[1:]}\n'))

This is because Python 2.6 doesn't support dict comprehensions.

Steps To Reproduce

apt-get update
apt-get install mitmproxy

See: http://bpaste.net/show/NAAfnTqx7rxEwXdHTUGB/

Additional Information

To solve this, I performed:

pip install mitmproxy

Alternatively, we'd need to tell apt-get to use Python 2.7. I'm not sure how to do this without create Python virtual envs.

I had same problem using "apt-get dist-upgrade"

Easily reproducible with:
apt-get update; apt-get purge -y mitmproxy; apt-get install -y mitmproxy

I just uploaded mitmproxy_0.9.2-2kali2_source.changes that will fix this problem by restricting the package to python 2.7 (we don't really care about python 2.6 since 2.7 is the default version).
