The closure size of `python27` went up from 79 MB at 16.09 to 107 MB on
stable, and that of `python35` down from 138 MB to 120 MB (because
`tkinter` was moved out). Therefore, when we make the switch to Python 3
the closure size will go up a net 41 MB while at the same time the amount
of headaches will be reduced significantly.
