python-gi needed a no-change rebuild to add support for python3.5. This is
done now - along with most other packages which needed it.
There is a set of packages that still need rebuilt for this transition,
and which failed to build in the test ppa:
adios
blist
fiona
h5py
kivy
libguestfs
minieigen
mpi4py
pandas
pybik
pyfftw
pykde4
pyliblo
pyopenssl
pyside
pytables
pytaglib
python-admesh
python-aiohttp
python-biopython
python-cpl
python-crypto
python-falcon
python-fontconfig
python-libdiscid
python-librtmp
python-misaka
python-pyproj
python-qt4
python-sfml
python-ssdeep
python-wrapt
pyzmq
qscintilla2
snimpy
unity-scopes-shell
(https://launchpad.net/~pythoneers/+archive/ubuntu/py35asdefault/+packages)
Assistance in resolving these build failures is certainly appreciated.
There are a handful of other packages which need to be transitioned, which
fail to build but the build failures were not identified in the ppa - at the
moment this list is down to just py3cairo, python-llfuse, and zope.security.
And there are various other packages from that ppa which fail to build when
switching to python3.5 as default; those will also need to be fixed but are
not as urgent at the moment.
So, per Barry's mail, rebuilds were needed. It would have perhaps been
better for someone to upload python-gi if this was blocking another build,
rather than working around it. If ubuntu-make is meant to build-depend on
python3-all, then this change should be reverted now.
It may be worth noting that ubuntu-make also failed to build in the ppa, for
reasons unrelated to python-gi:

My understanding is that Matthias has asked Iain to help set this up. I
don't know the status of this yet - Matthias? Iain?
