seems desirable that the name of a package for a Python module contains
the word @code{python}.
Some modules are compatible with only one version of Python, others with both.
If the package Foo compiles only with Python 3, we name it
@code{python-foo}; if it compiles only with Python 2, we name it
@code{python2-foo}. If it is compatible with both versions, we create two
packages with the corresponding names.
Some modules are compatible with only one version of Python, others with
both. If the package Foo is compiled with Python 3, we name it
@code{python-foo}. If it is compiled with Python 2, we name it
@code{python2-foo}. Packages should be added when they are necessary;
we don't add Python 2 variants of the package unless we are going to use
them.
If a project already contains the word @code{python}, we drop this;
for instance, the module python-dateutil is packaged under the names
