Does this mean that for 311 (default) it's ok?  To me that is the most
important thing, but it of course should work elsewhere.

It strikes me that meson should be told what the python version is and
handle multiple versions, but perhaps the linux world does not allow
multiple versions and thus people don't bother to make that work.   It
sounds like you are suggesting that we patch in python-version-aware
support and that makes sense to me.
