Whoops! Thanks Simon, I had been mistakenly just grepping the sources to
find dependencies, so my earlier claims of packages being unused were
wrong.

Only the following have no dependencies (according to `guix refresh
-l`):

  python2-exif-read
  python2-pyld
  python2-itsdangerous
  python2-feedgenerator
  python2-wtforms
  python2-pastescript
  python2-celery
  python2-configobj
  python2-email-validator
  python2-openid-teams
  python2-openid-cla
  python2-openid
  python2-celery
  python2-translitcodec

These DO have dependencies, so should NOT be removed:

  python2-markdown
  python2-py-bcrypt
  python2-waitress
  python2-oauthlib

Ben
