I must admit that I don't really know how important is the ability to
install python.el in older Emacsen. I know the maintainers of python.el
want it to be possible, but that doesn't preclude depending on `seq.el`
and `project.el` since those are also available on GNU ELPA. But it
does make it less convenient for the end user, so whether that matters
depends on its importance.
I suggested a "soft" dependency as a possible choice, without implying
it's necessarily better or worse, sorry :-(
But, FWIW the patch looks good to me.

BTW, Emacs-24.3 already provides cl-lib-1.0 so we can drop `cl-lib` from
this line.
