[bug#27888] [PATCH 00/18] Python updates

[Marius Bakke]

This is the beginning of a new 'python-updates' branch. It updates to
Python 3.6, as well as pulling in the latest versions of some popular
libraries (mostly the pytest closure). More to come!

'python-pytest' gains a dependency on 'hypothesis' and 'setuptools_scm'
which complicates the dependency tree somewhat. Currently I'm working
around it by using a minimal 'python-pytest-bootstrap' variant in all
packages required for pytest itself. It works, for now, but don't tell
anyone that the tests for 'py' and 'setuptools_scm' are actually not
running and also require 'pytest'.

Not sure how to solve that one, but won't spend any more time on it
this round unless someone has strong objections/suggestions. It's not
like they are running tests now, anyway! Considering a new (gnu packages
python-bootstrap) module to make it more manageable in the long run.

The patches are on 'core-updates'. Feedback very welcome. I may or may
not improve bootstrapping comments and descriptions of new packages
before pushing ;-)

If there is no feedback, I will push this to Savannah in a few days,
destroying the older 'python-updates' branch.

NB: The very last patch actually (inexplicably) breaks 'python-pytest'
and is included only for visibility. No idea what's up, yet.
