full backtrace from "bzr up" run

python 2.7.13 breaks bzr - "bzr up" crashes with

The most interesting detail is that it breaks in the "re" module, so it might
affect more programs that use regular expressions in python:

# bzr up
[...]
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/re.py", line 247, in _compile
    raise TypeError, "first argument must be string or compiled pattern"
TypeError: first argument must be string or compiled pattern

The full backtrace is attached.


I built python 2.7.12 packages in
home:cboltz:branches:devel:languages:python:Factory
(based on the previous Tumbleweed packages), and bzr works again after
installing them. Therefore I'd argue that this is a regression in python ;-)
If you think it is (also?) a bzr bug, please tell me ;-) and reassign to the
bzr maintainer.
