Well, there has been some on and off work focused on making python
packaging less hideous.  A spec would look sort of like this:

https://pagure.io/python-macros/blob/master/f/test1.spec

And I think that would work down into EPEL.

But otherwise, there's not much we can do about that _pkgversion macro,
since EPEL may even get multiple python versions at some point.  The
fancy macros actually handle that, but they aren't really a thing you
could use right now.
