This stands in a way of having this in EPEL 8, AFAIK:
- no automatic RPM buildrequires
- ancient pip (PEP 517 support was added in 19.0, we have 9.0.3)
- ancient setuptools (40.8 is needed, we have 39.2.0)
- no tox (but it's being packaged for EPEL8 as we speak)
Yeep! I didn't realize we had such ancient bits in 8...
How are we supposed to do progress in Fedora when people dislike it
when it is
not included in EPEL?
I assume there's an extra "not" here. On that assumption - I understand
the problem, but if you check the history of my builds in EPEL, I'm
definitely not in that group of people :P

What I meant with "ideally we should convince upstreams to only run tests with
default toxenv, not linters" was this:
`tox -e py37` should only run tests
`tox -e py38` should only run tests
`tox -e py39` should only run tests
Linters should run in `tox -e lint`, or `tox -e py38-lint`.
%tox runs `tox -e py3X` by default.
Ah, so essentially the scheme I suggested, but by 'default toxenv' you
meant the default env *of %tox*, not the default for just calling
`tox`?

That's what %tox does.
yeah, I figured that one out later :)
Sorry but I cannot help you have nice new things if you decide to
have old
things. You need to choose - backwards compatibility or new features.
See above, I know which one I choose :P
