There seem to be problems with Python extensions on several occasions. I went thru my history of tickets (47971, 47650, 39382). They usually get closed because after a reboot it seems to work. Possibly a Python process is still running in the background.

If one is used to handling updates and versions this is not a big deal, but I assume other people might get irritated.
