Except for Trove classifiers, of course: 'Programming Language :: Python', 'Programming Language :: Python :: 2', 'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.4', 'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.5', 'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.6', 'Programming Language :: Python :: 2.7', 'Programming Language :: Python :: 3', 'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.1', 'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.2', Or do I misunderstand your requirements?
