BTW this is scholar example of use-case for Modularity.
For *python*? Just..... no. the overlap of python modules among and
alongside each other would be extraordinarily destabilizing. That was
wha the "python2dist" and python3dist" macros provided when used
consistently, so that suites of software could be "python27" or
"python36" prefixed.
The software package name prefixing could be pesky, but was far
simpler to manage.
