The entire *purpose* of tox is to enable developers to test against various Python versions. This makes Fedora great for developing Python mudules that work on all the Python versions.
It's documented here: https://developer.fedoraproject.org/tech/languages/python/multiple-pythons.html

Please do recommend all interpreters that work with tox.

Tox itself runs of Python 3. It calls the other interpreters as commands.

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2018-11-01 10:53:41 UTC

python3-tox on rawhide does no longer recommends python26 because it doesn't work with Python 2.6.

python3-tox in Fedora 28 recommedns python26 because it works with Python 2.6.

Plese keep recommending Python 2.7, as it works with Python 2.7.

Plese revert https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-tox/c/131621c8655626d7129a8b5794db7b0e3b084dff

oops.
I've reverted the change and rebuilt on rawhide. No other branches were touched.

Well, I'd love to see this as a comment in the spec file to prevent any further potential confusion.
