Indeed, that's planned already, but I'd like to upload a fix for another
(important) bug along with the python version switch.

Because the default python version got bumped since the last upload of
blender. And since Blender doesn't support switching “easily” to another
python version, I didn't include a mechanism so that it gets
automatically built against the current default python version.
