* Fix #525: Update to python 2.7.16 which fixes a bunch of potential crashes, also updating to match the Dockerfile.
* Fix #511 update `urllib3` from 1.23 to 1.24.2 (not to 1.25.1 which is incompatible with this version of requests). https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-11324
* Fix #527 update `Jinja2` from 2.10 to 2.10.1. https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-10906
* Fix #478 update `pyyaml` from 3.13 to 5.1, which deprecates `yaml.load()` but doesn't actually fix the vulnerability. It looks like they tried to close the execute-arbitrary-code vulnerability in 4.0 but reverted the incompatibility. Still, this update should appease GitHub's security scanner. Change our code to call `yaml.safe_load()` instead of `yaml.load()`, although I think we're calling `ruamel.yaml`. https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-18342
* Fix #479 `requests` from 2.19.1 to 2.21.0. It's used by FireWorks, bokeh, confluent_kafka, and ipython. https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-18074
* Update `ruamel.yaml` from 0.15.43 to 0.15.94. That's 51 new bug fix releases! Clearly YAML is over-complicated.
* Update NumPy from 1.14.5 to 1.14.6 for a thread safety bug fix. (Releases 1.15 & 1.16 are substantial changes, and 1.17 will drop support for Python 2.7.)
* Add the `typing` and `mypy` pips while we're updating pyenvs. We'll need these when we start adding static type checking.
... to test the new 2.7.16-based pyenv on Sherlock.

When we merge in this PR, I'll delete and recreate the `wcEcoli2` pyenv. (Or we _could_ switch all our working dirs to `wcEcoli3` and keep `wcEcoli2` around just in case.)

In any case we should update the pyenv on our local machines.

[This is another thing that gets simpler with Docker.]

Looks good! So are we going to be using wcEcoli3 on sherlock now or was that just for the PR and you'll rebuild wcEcoli2 once this is merged?

Nice, thanks for taking care of this! Maybe github will get off our back now?

Glad we are using 2.7.16. Looking forward to 2.7.17 : )

My current preference is to rebuild wcEcoli2 once this is merged, since that saves us from updating all the branches. Thoughts?

Preferences for when the pyenv will be out of commission for 30-60 minutes?

I'll update the paper release repo so GitHub will stop the scary warning there.

I think it would be good to rebuild wcEcoli2 instead of updating everywhere. I don't have any plans for using sherlock but probably the best time to do it would be an evening after checking that no one has any jobs submitted.

Thanks for reminding me to check for running jobs. I'll do that tonight.

There's no reliable way to rename or copy pyenv virtual environments but anyone can rebuild from a previous requirements.txt using the documented steps.

... now that the PR build ran.

The new pyenv wcEcoli2 is up on Sherlock.

Please rebuild the pyenv on your local machines.
