The problem has nothing to do with Debian Wheezy. I’m running Debian Jessie (Debian 8.10) and I get the same result. Before running certbot-auto I did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade to make sure my Jessie installation is up-to-date.
When I (as root) type: certbot-auto
the messages are slightly different from debianuser’s reflecting the fact that I’m using jessie not wheezy, but it hangs in exactly the same way, after “Installing Python packages…”, and when I kill it with ctrl-C the traceback starts with exactly the same lines in the same modules.
Installing Python packages…

KeyboardInterrupt
Failure in precisely the same way on different Debian versions suggests that some recent change to certbot-auto has introduced a bug.
