how about this one: on my phone, I want to install application written
in Python 3 that uses apt module, after installing python3-apt package,
I suddenly have python2 and my SD card is almost full. What should I do?

it is, see above

please join us, add Python 3 support to python-central and
python-support (warning: you cannot share files with python2), fix all
upgrade problems we currently have with both of them, design it in a way
that 3rd party module authors will not complain and make it easy to
developers who package Python occasionally (i.e. will not ask you about
pyshared every week) and we'll love you :-)
