I have no horse in this race, but if we retire python-kitchen, someone
needs to go though the things that now depend on it and remove that
dependency. ;(

I guess short term I could make it build (I got it just working mostly,
but failing a test), but that doesn't help too long with python2
retirement coming soon. Might give us a little breathing room though?
