Why not  leave the old name space with the old Python bindings, and 
preserve the old test suite in a folder with those names, all as 
legacy. Then the new namespace goes with the new bindings and (perhaps 
the same) tests but in a new folder with the new invocation. Sounds 
like a clean setup.

That way if you ever look at a test file, you know for certain which 
generation you are looking at.
ps- extra bonus, do that for 1.5 and leave 1.4.3 working as it stands :)

caveat - I dont use Python much
