Maybe this will work? (untested):
apt-get install python3-xpra
apt-get install xpra

"xpra" is a meta-package, which depends on either "python2-xpra" or 
"python3-xpra", and recommends "python2-xpra" in version 2.x

It is, and it is now the default in v3.
So installing "xpra" will only install "python3-xpra" by default.

Cheers,
Antoine
