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.
