Ok.

I need help.

It fails with

starting phase `install'
running "python setup.py" with command "install" and parameters 
("--prefix=/gnu/store/v8kzgqs1jdfg7wzqr9c02719ada6x8bm-ufw-0.35" 
"--single-version-externally-managed" "--root=/" "--root=/")
Found 
'/gnu/store/8assqq8vmmvn09cysg5nm3kf2075hvxd-iptables-1.6.2/sbin/iptables' 
version '1.6.2\n''
usage: -c [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
    or: -c --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
    or: -c --help-commands
    or: -c cmd --help

error: option --single-version-externally-managed not recognized

This option comes from the python-build-system.

Replacing the install phase seems necessary. But I don't know how to do 
that and did not find good examples in python.scm.

Logs and patch attached...

(also the tests fail see comment in the patch)
