It would seem I have something misconfigured on my machine. I haven't
noticed anything on the mailing list or on the Arch news about this,
checked the bug tracker and followed the links to the Python mailing
list, and I'm still a little confused. Below is an example of what I
get back from pacman -Sy and pacman -Su, the rest is in a pastebin at
http://pastebin.com/3dBxsGvE.

looking for inter-conflicts...
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: python2-nose and python-nose are in conflict
The adnauseum got 1455 line of repetition through pygobject and
pygobject-devel. Based on the Python mailing list referenced in
FS25747 on the bug tracker, I'm not sure what to do next. You'll
notice in the pastebin I stopped hitting the Y and just pressed enter
(yes I really did that).
No problems prior to today, but it seems as though I've borked
something up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
