I followed the discussion on cross-version modules and the more I think about it
the more I think it would be better to clearly separate modules for different
Python versions. If you already built them with modulations I don't see the
point in putting them all in one package instead of having the old (2.6)
CSWpy- and the new CSWpy27- and CSWpy33- modules. The only possible benefit
I see is that people who are using 2.6 can pkgutil update and switch to 2.7
after all has been rebuilt. But that can be achieved with a online shellscript
installing CSWpy27- for all CSWpy- modules.


Best regards
