Sorry, I should have said
Requires: python >= 36
or
Requires: python >= 3.6
In any case, packages shouldn't be requiring
python* directly. They automatically get a requirement on
`python(abi) = X.Y` that serves this purpose.
That is fine if the generated *package* depends upon a particular version
of python, but what if the source script uses features particular to
a version of python ?
And some packages ship uncompiled .py scripts (not just .pyo and .pyc
files).
