Were did you read about this ?
So if there are no more GPL problems, and if there are no need to
have 2 pythons at a time, we can add a Provides: python (=2.0) to
python 2 and recompile all our modules for python 2 right ?
So there is no need for 2 versions of each module.

Well, I think we need some mecanism allowing us to keep modules on the
system, even if we change the interpreter.
