Thanks for sending this (and sorry that I'm responding so late). > Here's one that should be fairly easy: > > * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Guidelines : Currently > reads: > > If the executables provide the same functionality independent of whether > they are run on top of Python 2 or Python 3, then only one version of the > executable should be packaged.

Will you create an FPC ticket or shall I? (or have you already created it?) I'm currently working on a proposal of some further changes, I'm hoping to send it here and to packaging list tomorrow for discussion - I want to reach some sort of consensus before submitting to FPC. Again, sorry that it's taking me so long.
