Python module mismatch

I don't remember any recent changes in the install area.

The change was to add version checking.  It has pointed out a real problem 
with separate locations for python2 and python3 imports.  If you made a change 
in a module API, installed the python2 version but forgot to install the 
python3 version, you could get obscure errors.



I don't know anything about Gentoo.

Fedora, Debian, NetBSD, and FreeBSD all install several python modules and the 
corresponding binaries.  I think the same list of files get installed for both 
python 2 and 3.  The python versions are the same, the binaries may be 
different.  We treat them as a bag of bits.
