python-team: New branch

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi Guix,

I'm CC'ing the python-team.

Since the merge of the python-team branch we've seen a bunch of
new build failures to popular packages.  I've started work to repair
some of the damage.

I think we should start a new python-team branch where we build out
important upgrades and fixes.  I'd like to aim for merging that new
branch before the end of the year, so let's try to restrict ourselves to
important fixes only.

If there is more time we should also consider upgrading these packages:

    python-typing-extensions
    python-virtualenv
    python-platformdirs
    python-colorama
    python-chardet

(I patched out version checks in python-tox to avoid upgrading, but I
think we should not do that habitually.)

Unless anyone objects I'll destroy and recreate the python-team branch
with my commits tonight.

I have upgraded the above packages, too.

I've pushed the branch.  Please add your fixes there.  Let's try to get
this merged soon.  The goal here is to reduce the number of recently
introduced build failures significantly.

Thank you!

I've just rebased python-team on top of master, because Maxim just
pushed some changes to python-tox etc to the master branch.

I have a Python mass update branch I've been developing, holding it back
because I kept finding breakage (whether caused by my changes or
already there).  There's now 200 commits in it, including an update to
virtualenv and typing extensions, along Python build systems
improvements.

I'll try getting it a bit further in terms of packages breakage then
send it for review.  If you'd rather see it already and work on a
wip-python-team branch, I could submit it already in its more rough
form.

There's a good chance there will be significant overlap with the
python-team branch in its current state.

If you could clean it up and push the parts that do not touch the Python
build system you could push those commits to python-team.  Let's delay
the build system changes this time around.

Note that I've updated the packages in (gnu packages python-build),
including setuptools, which means near full Python world rebuild anyway.
I think my changes may be better for python-team-next, if the next cycle
is to be as short as possible.

Perhaps prematurely I rebased python-team on top of rust-team to benefit
from upgrades needed for pydantic.  When rust-team is rebased on top of
master we should rebase once more to restore all the fixes to Python
packages that have since been pushed to the master branch.

Hi,

Ricardo and Maxim do you have any list of packages you are about to
refresh/fix on python-team?
I've finished with Astro update for this month and may provide my time
for python-team.

Thanks,
Oleg

I've put in a request for merge for rust-team.  Currently it is behind
mesa-updates, which is the current branch waiting to merge.
