Great, however I want to suggest that the PYTHON_VERSION variable to be a
normal numeric value like 150, 160, 200, 201 etc. instead of current mix of
numbers, word `python' and dots in between. The reason for that is simple: if
some features have been included in some version, say 1.6, then most likely
that those features will be carried forward into all consequient versions. This
should allow for simple comparisons like

.if ${PYTHON_VERSION} > 123
FOO
.else
BAR
.endif

instead of current

if ${PYTHON_VERSION) == "python1.2"
FOO
.elif ${PYTHON_VERSION} == "pyhon1.3"
BAR
.elif etc. etc.
