[Slackbuilds-users] (re)naming of Python software

[Arnaud]

I'm working on a lot of python stuff too.
And I do agree :
Python3 by default
Python3 MoDuLe is named python-module
Python2 MoDuLe is named python2-module
Python Software is named software (like mercurial for example)

It seems it is often pertinent de separate both because requirements differs, even if the version is the same fir Python 2 and 3.

That being said, I'd be glad to rename my different python MoDuLe called MoDuLe for consistency.
