I'd suggest splitting the bindings out into a completely independant source package and uploading that to PyPi. That facilitates people using python virtualenvs to easily build the binding against arbitrary python versions as many times as they like, as well as packaging it against both py2+3 concurrently in Fedora. Bonus points if you can make the python binding able to dynamically build against multiple different versions of the C library. This is the approach we took for libvirt when adding py3 support, rather than try to hack something up with python in-tree to the main C library.
