[bug#71408] Request for merging "python-team" branch

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

Hello,

(Cc’ing the Python team.)

Christopher Baines <mail@cbaines.net> skribis:

I haven’t been involved either.  My understanding is that the main
blocker before merging is assessing the amount of breakage introduced in
this branch¹.

Right now it’s built at 89% on x86_64-linux only, which is a bit less
than on ‘master’ but there are still pending builds.  Interested readers
can browse failed builds at:

  https://ci.guix.gnu.org/eval/latest/dashboard?spec=python-team

(If you find builds that failed due to transient errors like the
infamous “missing derivation”, you can click on “Action -> Restart”—this
is now available in most cases without privileges.)

An important issue seems to be test failures of ‘python-responses’:

Ideas, Pythonistas?  :-)
