With the recent merge of the python-team branch a lot of packages are
now broken, so I suggest scheduling another python-team branch merge
before a release can possibly be made.

I'll be pushing to the python-team branch with some fixes (and likely
some new breakage) soon.  We're at a point with Python packages that we
cannot delay upgrades anymore, so whenever a fix requires an upgrade and
that creates ripples that necessitate more upgrades we should keep
applying them.
