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.
Good to hear that progress is being made.
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.
For the time being, could the python34 package add a Provides for python3
so the _pkgversion macro isn't necessary?
