I tried this patch, and guess the reason it was not pushed is because
dendropy now has a different failure. Can you look into it?

Currently, I can build all of 'guix package -A python' on amd64, and
have fixed the few i686 problems on Hydra. Except for these three:

python-dendropy
python-openid
python-axolotl

Given that the two latter packages have security implications I would
rather leave them broken, than ignoring the test failures. They don't
have any in-tree users.

I don't always break packages wittingly, but when I do, it's on
'master'. Should we do a final Hydra round, or just merge it to the
master branch first? The 'python-tests' branch haven't been synced in a
while, so many substitutes will be out of date.
