Similarly for Python2 and Python3, for anything which installed in
their site-packages directories - but only if the minor versions
have changed (I forget when python2.7 first came out, but I will
guess you used a version of that, so those modules should still
work).
For Python3 we now install PyPi as part of Python - that was because
of circular dependencies, it *will* pull in required modules
whenever something needing them is installed. I was shocked at how
many other modules were pulled in when I looked at upgrading a
system.
There has also been some change in the modules, e.g. pycairo now
installs for both versions, so py2cairo (if you had that) is now
redundant.
