This is about the work that's happening on the swig-py3 branch. So: that
would be support for building the swig-py bindings for both Python3 and
Python2. Trunk only support Python2 which has reached end of life.

variants of Python, or rather, with Python 2.7.x and 3.something, for
some unknown value of "something."
