Thanks for the feedback.

It already installs a /usr/bin/easy_install-3.1

It's not clear to me if we need an easy_install-3; we could rename it to that,
or drop it.

I also used __python in order to override the standard python fragments for
getting sitearch/sitelib for setup, build and install.  One of my aims is to
minimize the diff against the original specfile.

What do you see as hackish about it?   I'm trying to follow the changes
proposed here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2009-October/msg00042.html
to these: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python
(which work around the "print" change from 2 to 3; again trying to keep the 2
and 3 versions in sync)

I want to stick as close as possible to the python 2 version of the package, so
I'd suggest taking that up as a separate bug report against that package.
