I'll answer your question with a question: How common are "software as service"
code-analysis tools for Python used?
A slightly different but related problem is noting the Python dialect at the
package-level. If a package is in Pypi then PKGINFO can contain the a list of
Python dialects supported. If the program is not in Pypi, then what? As with
"use perl" inside source code, the same mechanism ("use perl") is used inside
its build system(s) to indicate which dialects a Perl package supports.
