Description:
perf 6.2-1 can no longer run `perf script` with python scripts. Downgrading the package to 6.1-1 resolves the issue.

The easiest way to see the issue is to run `perf script -s lang`, which lists available languages on 6.1:

$ perf script -s lang

Scripting language extensions (used in perf script -s [spec:]script.[spec]):

Perl [Perl]
pl [Perl]
Python [Python]
py [Python]


but doesn't list anything on 6.2:

$ perf script -s lang

Scripting language extensions (used in perf script -s [spec:]script.[spec]):


Trying to actually run a script on 6.2-1 always gives me either 'invalid script extension' or `invalid language specifier` depending on how I invoke the script. I haven't figured out if this is an upstream change or a packaging change.
This task depends upon
