[please wrap your messages at 80 columns or less]

Depending on python isn't going to work for you since the default
python in sid is still python2.3:

   fungi@cthulhu:~$ apt-cache show python|grep ^Depends:
   Depends: python2.3 (>= 2.3.5-1)

I recommend reading the Debian Python Policy for a detailed
explanation of the problem you're encountering and possible
solutions:

Hope that helps!
