[Fwd: python error on package select using gui]

[Gavin Chester]

FWIW, these error messages I reported before have disappeared after
upgrading the packages that were not giving error messages.  That is,
after upgrading I went back and selected the ones I couldn't before and
no error message appeared this time.  Very curious.
