I know this pattern works in general, because I maintain several Python
packages in which it is used.
I tried modifying python-fixit to patch requirements.txt as you
described. I confirmed the line appeared in the “prepped” source as you
have written. Then I built it with mock and installed it into a Rawhide
chroot without difficulty.
My best guess is that there was a mix-up in which RPM version you were
trying to install—something that’s probably happened to all of us.
Perhaps you built it in Rawhide and didn’t use --enablerepo=local when
testing the installation?
Anyway, if you can reproduce the problem again, please consider doing so
in a PR against your package, so that others can check out the PR and
examine the exact spec file that is not working.
A side note: since, for example, Python 3.6.1 is not “<= '3.6'”, I think
this conditional would be better written as “< '3.7'” instead.
