Description

python: Use one copy of the source tree per Python version.

* lang/python/Makefile.am (copystamp): Create one copy per Python
version.
(all-local): Adapt.
(clean-local): Likewise.
(install-exec-local): Likewise.
* lang/python/tests/run-tests.py: Likewise.

Currently, we use one copy of the Python module's source to build for
all Python versions. This is problematic, because SWIG writes a
wrapper file into the source tree. Currently, this file works with
both Python 2 and 3, but this is purely by chance.

Improve the situation by creating one copy per Python version so that
SWIG can write version-specific code into each copy.
