[Python-modules-team] regression with current TeX Live packages

[Norbert Preining]

Dear all,

I found the reason, and I am confirming with LaTeX upstream. It seems to
me this was a bug in LaTeX 2e 2019-10-01 that was fixed in patch level 2,
released yesterday.

After confirmation I will upload new packages that fix the regression.

Best

Norbert
