RPMs should include Python version in filename

The subject says it all... I think that it would be a good idea to add the Python version in the RPM filename much like bdist_wininst does this for Windows, e.g. my-package-1.2.3-1-py1.5.i386.rpm my-package-1.2.3-1-py2.0.i386.rpm my-package-1.2.3-1-py2.1.i386.rpm The reason is simple: the Python API has changed between versions and also the path used by the files inside the packages use the major.minor version number. The same problem most probably also occurrs for bdist_dumb archives and most other binary distribution formats.
