Description of problem: The latest Fedora Python Packaging guidelines [1] state that python modules should have a virtual provides for python2-%{srcname}. It is a semi-recent change, so I don't think it's mandatory for EPEL packages. However, it is a simple change to make, with no drawbacks, that allows for similarities between Fedora and EPEL packages. It also allows other package maintainers like myself to require the virtual python2 name in our spec files. It is already possible to do this with the main python packages. $ rpm -q --provides python | grep ^python2 python2 = 2.7.5 $ rpm -q --provides python-devel | grep ^python2 python2-devel = 2.7.5-18.el7_1.1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.1.4-1.el7 Actual results: python-mimeparse does not provide python2-mimeparse Expected results: python-mimeparse should provide python2-mimeparse Additional info: [1]: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Provides
