Well, myspell-python is no longer maintained, original author resigned 
some time ago and I didn't found anybody who would like to take 
responsibility on this package. I provide myspell-1.0 download from my 
project page at BerliOS (http://developer.berlios.de/projects/jpa/), but 
I do not maintain this package.

If you look for spell-checking library, I'd consider using python 
binding for aspell, available at 
http://www.republika.pl/wmula/proj/aspell-python/ (currently I'm 
rewriting my program to use python-aspell). This library is actively 
maintained and Wojtek Mula is active member of Polish Python community.
