One argument for keeping the CSWpy- prefix is that we start with one
2.x version (2.6) and we eventually want to end up with one 2.x
version (2.7). When we go from 2.6 to 2.7, we can introduce the
CSWpy27- packages, but there eventually would only be CSWpy27-
packages and none of CSWpy-. I think that would be just annoyance for
our users. If we can wiggle our way through from 2.6 into 2.7 without
messing around with package names, it's better and smoother for our
users.

I'm curious if anyone will object to my idea to drop the dependency on
the interpreter.
