Perhaps.  I installed in the python3 level directory, but renamed the files 
based on what version of python3 they were built for and then made a common 
runtime file under the expected versionless upstream name that would use the 
correct one based on runtime detection of what version it was being run with.

I'd like something simpler/standard.
