Have now: USE_PYTHON=     cython py3kplist autoplist

The magic seems to work.... Nice work.

The only (wierd) thing is that there is a lot of cython files named 
something like:
%%PYTHON_SITELIBDIR%%/ceph/deployment/__pycache__/drive_group.cpython-37.pyc

And replacing the 37 with %%PYTHON_VER%% does not seem to work, although 
those things
are closely matched to the python version.
