python-polib supports Python2 and Python3

[Dylan Semler]

I believe polib provided by the current python-polib rpm supports both
python2 and python3[1].  However, the rpm only provides source in the
python2.7/site-packages directory and there is no python3-polib rpm.

I don't know the correct way to handle these types of packages, but should
the polib rpm be updated to place symlinks of the polib files from the
python2.7/site-packages to python3.2/site-packages?  Or should a
python3-polib rpm be created using the same source?

I've tested the symlink workaround by successfully building dupeguru
(written in python3 and requiring polib).  I don't have any specific
experience with polib to test further.

Thanks,
Dylan

[1] From the changelog from version 0.7:  "This version adds support for
python 3 (thanks to Vinay Sajip). polib now supports out-of-the-box any
version of python ranging from 2.4 to latest 3.X version. polib is now 5
years old ;) so the 0.7.X branch will be the last before the 1.X stable
branch."
