As part of: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Python_3_Porting_2015 I will track here python packages than have out of dates packages and do not provides a python2 subpackage and do not use the python-provides macro.
Why it depends on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1282044 ? This is an application compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3.
It would help to get this fixed faster if you have some documentation what to do or if it exists point to it :)
Andreas, all the info should be in the Python packaging guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python I'll belatedly go through the Mass Bug Filing procedure to make this more understandable; in the mean time, if something is unclear, let me know the specifics (e.g. which of the bugs tracked here you need help with).
I'm on Fedora 23 and if I try to build a spec with %python_provide macro it fails because it doesn't know the macro. Also I can't build a test package locally because f23 doesn't know about %{__python3}. Please make sure packager tools are providing what you are requesting for. I would expect that a "fedpkg mockbuild" for rawhide works on f23 ...
It seems like you are not BR: python3-devel which is mandatory when building python3 packages.

I've created #1285816, which has a better summary -- it's linked to bug filing instructions, rather than the 2015 FAD which is now over. I plan to migrate the bugs there, then close this as duplicate.
portingdb now pulls bug status from bug 1285816
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Marking as duplicate of the new bug, which contains the mass filing info. All open blockers of this bug block the new one as well. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1285816 ***
