just so you know, an update of pyparsing will probably need a new source
package as upstream decided to release two versions one for python2.7
only and one for python 3 with different version numbers.
You can't really repackage them into one again as you need to keep the
two different version numbers for packages like matplotlib that check
the version number.
One could update the version of the python 2.7 package to the same
version as py3, but I don't think that is a good idea.
