I sympathise, but those errors are typical of a borked Debian upgrade (usually 
best fixed by waiting or downgrading if the problem is in the repository 
itself, else by manually reinstalling the messed-up package if the problem is 
local), not a python problem, so you'll get better answers on, say, 
debian-users.
