for the

python-<package>  -> python3-<package>
py<package>       -> python3-py<package> (I think we should keep the py to make it easier to locate stuff pygpgme)
<package>-python  -> python3-<package>

Seem good to me.

But there is a lot of packages installing stuff into /usr/lib/pythonX-Y/site-packages there don't fit 3 cases.

Ex. yum

It is an application, but also an python API used by other packages, how do we handle there cases.

I have attacted the the sorted output from

repoquery -f '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/*'
