A version of python2.3 is in testing, but not the one that produces the
python (>= 2.3) binary package.

Looking at your packages, I don't *think* they're involved directly, but
it would require a bit more investigation to be sure. All the same, we
badly need a new version of python2.3 in testing, so if people can
please have patience until Wednesday, we can get testing updated and
then go on with our lives.
