Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

2. run "python-updater -- -vq"
3. watch python-updater recompile over and over again

Yes. python-updater can't handle some packages, did you read the manual page?

       manual
           python-updater has a list of packages that are known to break
           by Python upgrades but can't be determined by methods specified
           above. This check can be disabled if you're sure you've rebuilt
           the package once and it's OK now.
           Enabled by default.

I'll close this bug, thanks for the report though. Please re-open if you feel the need.
