Hi,
those are very good questions to which you should be able to find
answers on the Python RPM Porting Guide [0]. You are right that this
should be better covered in the packaging guidelines, sadly the process
of changing them is rather problematic so no one yet had the time to
update them.

Thanks Tomas, I was aware of this document as well. However I believe
both documents contain the same mistake.
Here is the problem:
Only the python3-XXX package installs the (Py3) script. Unless the
python2-XXX package requires the script neither the script nor the Py3
modules/packages required by the (Py3) script will be installed when
you install either the python-XXX or python2-XXX package (assuming the
virtual provides of python-XXX points to python2-XXX as is currently
the case).
I think the python2-XXX package in the examples is missing something
like this:
Requires: %{_bindir}/sample-exec
Make sense?
I believe there is a misunderstanding. In your first message you said
"But the guidelines require the py3 version of the script in the py2
package." That is incorrect.
The guidelines only require you to package the Python 3 version of the
script. They are not very clear on where you should put it, but the only
logical place is of course the Python 3 subpackage (or a new subpackage
with only the executable script that relies on the Python 3 subpackage).
You should never put the Python 3 executable in the Python 2 subpackage.
Kind regards,
Tomas
