I think I missed that, thanks for the clarification.

This solution works for me.  I'll note the one difference is that it will keep
a Python dependency even for libpeas clients that don't extend through Python
(crazy talk, I know! :).  But since it will be a Python *3* dependency and
Python 2 can be split off and demoted, that's okay by me.

<sotto voce> I agree with the plan.  :)

Thanks!
