Nota bene:

This only happens when python is compiled while one is running a 3.x kernel.

If you compile python while running a 2.6-kernel and subsequently upgrade to 
3.x, sys.platform will still be 'linux2'.

Here's a patch.
setup.py also needed patching, as it would not build _bluetooth.so under linux3.

Root cause seems to have been fixed in python2.7:

http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/c816479f6aaf/
http://bugs.python.org/issue12326

Breakage would be re-introduced in python-3.3, because that version wil 
introduce 'linux' as sys.platform. That change happens to be compatible with 
the patch, so hurray :-)
