Since I was looking at python3 packages this week, I've gone ahead and 
made this change.

(which cleans up the last remaining python3-foo source package)

This seems like a bit of overkill, so I've simply created a 'python2'
branch in the python-wx repository with the last version of that, and 
then copied the main branch of python3-wx repository into the main 
branch there.

I've done this renaming.

All you should need to do is update the origin URL(s) for your local git 
repo

e.g. something like

git remote set-url origin git://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/python-wx.git
git remote set-url origin --push 
ssh://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/python-wx.git

  This adjustment should all be automatic now, but if there are errors 
the next time you upload python-wx packages, just scream at me to fix it! :)

(Note, this renaming only effects the source package name python3-wx -> 
python-wx, all the install packages retain the same names e.g. 
python3-wx-common, python3-wx-debuginfo, python3N-wx, so hopefully 
no-one else will even notice this change.)
