[Python-modules-team] Bug#851649: python-webob: This version causes FTBFS of six OpenStack packages due backwards incompatibility

[Ondřej Kobližek]

Source: python-webob
Version: 1.7.0-1
Severity: serious

Hi,
upgrading from 1.6.2-1 to 1.7.0-1 causes multiple FTBFS in OpenStack packages.

Resolving of OpenStack packages FTBFS issues is hard due to the approaching stretch freeze.
Additionally, python-webob 1.7.0-1 has its own FTBFS and it is uncertain whether he gets into testing.
It would be possible to remove 1.7.0-1 from unstable?
I prefer 1.6.2-1, which works fine with current OpenStack in Debian.

Regards,
Ondrej Koblizek
