Here's a radical idea: Let's make the module packages not depend on
any Python interpreter.

Pros:
We won't force people to pull in Python 2.6 if they only want Python
2.7 and vice versa.

Cons:
Someone might rely on the dependency and expect to install the
interpreter by only issuing a command to install a module.

Thoughts?
