With Python 2 reaching end of life at 2020 and also having by default in Fedora
the Python 3 version of the language it only makes sense to explicitly reflect
in the name of the package, the respective major version. Also in the future,
there is a high possibility that python will refer only to python3.
Thus I would like to rename python to python2.
The package still virtually provide the python name. All the changes in the
SPEC file are in the posted github link. The change is intended only for
rawhide.
This can be tested by using a rawhide machine and enabling my copr repo [0]
where I have a build with the renamed python: dnf copr enable cstratak/Python2
Then by invoking "dnf update" or "dnf update python" the python2
package will
be installed, replacing the python package with no conflicts.
