This is not good, but it is not incorrect. The package was build for
only one python2.x version before, and 2.7 will be the last version
for 2.x, so hard coding is dirty but works. If you know how to make
everything work better, patch is welcomed.

Thanks for you advice, and I'll try to fix those problems.

OK, what if I join Debian Science Team and make then make a team
upload for such a package? Then I can just ask you for patch. I really
want to know why people jump in when someone starts to help with a
package that few people want to touch, and just be rude to say almost
everything he did weren't "appropriate". Though I don't want to start
a flame war, but I sincerely want to know if letting a package not
usable is way more "appropriate"?

Please note that people need to invest some effort and computing power
to compile and test such a package like openturns (build takes 20
minutes on an 8-way Xeon cluster node when parallel building is
enabled), and usually science related package are difficult to track
and maintain. I may need to re-consider my work after this
conversation.
