To be more clear: I think that adding a number to the module name
is a very strong api break. As examples psycopg2, libxml2, urllib2, urlib3  
come to mind. 

So for example Debian packages would be called

python-gpgme2
python3-gpgme2

And python code would do
  from gpgm2 import X,Y,Z

Or (my prefered name):
python-gnupg2
python3-gnupg2
from gnupg2 import X,Y,Z

Regards,
Bernhard
