Sorry, I forgot to tell you I ran memtest and it reported no errors. I completely failed as a bug tester... Don't take it personally: I often switch my computer on with a purpose, but only remember that purpose when I switch it off to go to bed...
It's also worth noting that my system hasn't complained about anything python-related in the 2 months since that package failed to install/upgrade. If I ever need to submit another bug report, I'll try harder to follow it through. Thanks for all the work you put into Ubuntu!
