More likely, in this way:

foobar-1.0-py2.tar.gz
foobar-1.0-py3.tar.gz

The problem here is that I can foresee libs or apps that have a mixed
path, starting to support Py 3 at some point, and deprecating the Py 2
support after a while:

foobar-1.0.tar.gz   # Py 2
foobar-1.1.tar.gz   # Py 2 & 3
foobar-1.2.tar.gz   # Py 2 & 3
foobar-1.3.tar.gz   # Py 2 & 3
foobar-1.4.tar.gz   # Py 2 & 3
foobar-1.5.tar.gz   # Py 3
