Ok. I'm not sure what removing the python-eye3d support does, but just
removing stuff souds scary, so I will spin an update for FC5/FC6 without
the python bindings. Then we can add python bindings in extras for FC6. 

For FC7 maybe we can enable the python bindings when the mythical
core/extras merger happens.

Sounds ok?
