Thank you for the idea. IPv6 was not the problem. It turned out to be a bug in one of Debian Wheezy's python libraries, though I'm not clear on which one.
Rolling back to python 2.6 (from 2.7) made the problem go away. Everything worked in python 2.7 when I pulled all my dependencies from pip in a virtualenv instead of installing them through Debian. I should have tried that earlier. Thanks Justin for the link to foauth. I hope Mozilla Persona takes off. Thank you!
