Python in sid is undergoing a very big transition, it appears, and some
things are still broken, especially in terms of lots of messed up
dependencies and conflicts. Hopefully things will get back to normal as the
transition completes, all packages depending on python packages are rebuilt
with fixed dependencies etc.. Debian unstable is, usually, very stable, but
sometimes lives up to its name :)
