We can try. See the macro work I've done (though the real work there
was against EPEL5, which is fortunately forgotten now).
you did an excellent job IMO and also IMO is the (best) way .

I worked up a proposal about this a while ago:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Tibbs/EPELPythonStubPackages
In the end there was basically no good argument for _not_ doing it
but
every time I touch something like this someone crawls out of the
woodwork to flame me. So I end up hesitating instead of doing
anything
and then I run out of free time.
Right now I still have too much other Fedora work to do, but maybe I
can
find a few minutes to put a couple of these packages in. I did go
ahead
and file four requests for the four packages listed in that proposal
(noting that python2-setuptools does exist on EL7 so only an EL6
branch
for that one).
