Comment:

 I'm unsetting {{{review-needed}}} and assigning to davidsarah for
 davidsarah (or anyone else who knows) to answer my questions from
 comment:18 and comment:22. In short: I think we're depending on
 {{{pkg_resources}}} to install the right versions of deps, so if
 {{{pkg_resources}}} is ''reporting'' incorrect version numbers when
 queried, perhaps this indicates a bug that we need to fix more deeply than
 just to stop asking it what the version numbers are.
