So I was already skeptical with such a massive version bump, but you
said you had tested all of the packages. Clearly, the autobuilders have
spoken: it was insufficiently tested, and such massive version bumps
are a bad idea.

First of all, you didn't test "make legal-info", so it was broken for a
number of packages. We had to fix at least:

  python-pyasn
  https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=aca82a056b04f1bc1d2578e414d8a8d1eaf66207

  python-enum
  https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=d4235a8372ccaa54bc8322361a41003837d005a4

Then, a number of packages are missing new dependencies, and cause
build failures:

  python-cherrypy
  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/b66/b66f8fbce3a5127b69a09bdc91a460a3c107e29d/build-end.log

  python-pyasn
  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/27e1c6cdf330bd2009bf8895d8c72a7c4f5186af/

  python-pytrie
  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/e4209a2209bba769c264f8c4c6dfe2995443c243/

While I agree it is perfectly acceptable to have a few issues here, so
many issues clearly indicate a lack of testing, and confirm that such
massive bumps are a bad idea.

So I've reverted the bump of python-cherrypy, python-pyasn and
python-pytrie.

Best regards,

Thomas
