Yes, I was going to coordinate with the rest of the admins to schedule
this Python rebuild. I think it should happen after this core-updates
cycle.

The wip-python branch is on hold until we have Python 3.5 in master. I
found some significant differences in how Python 3.4 and 3.5 affect
building, and I didn't want to juggle three different Python package
graphs: current master, current core-updates, and wip-pytohn.

The core Python packages are *extremely* tangled up in each other. Help
wanted, and I do plan to tackle it after the next release, and
potentially after this new build system is merged.

It depends on how quickly the new build system looks ready for master.
We could even restart wip-python on wip-python-build-system, since I
didn't make concrete progress on wip-python, unfortunately.
