You can recompile python-hesiod locally ("apt-get python-hesiod", cd into
the directory, "debuild", and run dpkg -i on the resulting .deb).
Alternatively, I hope at some point to have packages built for wheezy, but
they won't be officially supported and I don't have an expected time frame
for that.
