I'm definitely in agreement here. Everytime I type BTreeFolder2 I feel 
like someone's killing a kitten somewhere.

It's a shame setuptools doesn't take care of this properly :-/

(where my definition of properly is that "major releases" like 2.0, 3.0 
are assumed to be backwards incompatible such that 3.0 won't satisfy a 
 >=2.0)

cheers,
