Ah, OK. It didn't at some point and I didn't check.
It seems that the Guidelines:Python page could still use some
editing. I think most of the info is there, but it's not very clear.
In particular, the multiple-executables case is again very prominent
(as this thread shows), and it's really applicable to a miniscule
percentage of packages (literally: sphinx, pytest, nosetest, a bunch
of python development and installation tools. There's a spattering
of other random packages, which might be mistakes. E.g. python-nibabel
also provides versioned executables, but that I don't think there's a
good reason for that). The way that Guidelines are written only serves
to confuse packagers.
So, I think we're in agreement that the example is not ideal and can be very
confusing. As Robert pointed out, there's already a ticket for the change at:
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/558, however it appears to have been inactive for
months. Would you know what can be done to get the example fixed?
