Basically LGPL allows building proprietary or non-GPLed apps linked
with LGPL libraries, but in the case of Python modules I am unsure if
that would really allow creating proprietary or non-GPLed apps since I
am unsure if an import counts as linking. Either way I am fine with
GPLv3, too.

If you don't feel too strong about it, you might want to add a "or
later" there to ease up possible future migrations to newer versions
of the license.
