Unfortunately, for python code, just building isn't a good test. It's
necessary, but not sufficient.

You want to actually *run* everything, to make sure it works. Python
doesn't generally detect library incompatibilities until runtime
(unlike C, which would fail to compile).

One idea: do your msgpack-python update without pushing it. Then
contact the maintainers of all those dependee builds and give them
directions on how to build/install your updated package. Ask them to
run-test their stuff.
