I definitely realize that we are beyond scope of solvable problems in 
OpenStack, however with python going through a major incompatible 
upgrade in the language, we can't be the only project where this lack of 
enforcing what version code works with is causing breaks.

Various respected python community members, it would be really awesome 
to solve this as a root issue, get pypi to not allow uploads that don't 
specify, and have it be part of the installer. Would be good for 
everyone, not just OpenStack.
