%{?python_provide:%python_provide python3-%{pypi_name}}
has been replaced with
%{?python_provide:%python_provide python%{python3_pkgversion}-%{pypi_name}}
What is the advantage of using %{python3_pkgversion} tag? Have in future
a package name like python31-foo ?
Till now I have only seen names like
python2-foo
and
python3-foo
%python3_pkgversion will always resolve to 3 on Fedora (at least for the
foreseeable future). On EPEL, it currently resolves to 34 as that is
the current main (and only at the moment) python3 version in EPEL. At
some point we will introduce a new python3 version (probably 3.6 at this
point) and will start to shift to that.

We don't currently have %python3_other*. I'm hopeful that we can come
up with some better macros for handling the multiple versions before
rolling that out.
