Bug description:
  SRU: backport python 2.7.12 to 16.04 LTS

  The idea is to ship a released version with the first point release of
  16.04 LTS.  We updated python2.7 from the the 2.7 branch up to the
  final 2.7.12 release, and then made a test rebuild of the archive
  using the new python2.7 (and some other toolchain packages).

  The test rebuild was done using the release candidate of 2.7.12,
  however the only changes between the rc and the final release are
  Windows related, and include one change in the idle lib. From my point
  of view we don't need another test rebuild.

  The evaluation of the test rebuild is found in LP: #1586673. I'm
  pretty sure that none of the possible regressions can be attributed to
  the python2.7 update.
