Improvement of python environment testing

Zachary L Lentz 

It was noted recently that the Python environments update too dramatically from release to release. We've been maintaining a policy of rigorous testing and updating all dependencies when we update our own libraries, but it became clear that the pace of community "unexpected bugs" far outpaces our testing rigor.

To resolve this, we've added more local testing steps and have rewritten our update scripts to minimize the dependency updates. Hopefully this brings us to a state where any bug introduced by an environment update is both minor and entirely our own fault, rather than the fault of an OSS software contributor.
