The message says that it can't find a package called "python" (and
then spams you with the complete list of packages it did find).
There's a good reason for this: the python recipe doesn't actually
produce a package called python.

The binary and key libraries are in python-core, and the rest of the
modules are split into separate packages.  If you want to install them
all then install python-modules.
