The osci.brew-build.tier0.functional tests of python-rpm-macros fail due to missing test dependency (python3.6):

We need to adapt the tests (inherited from Fedora) not to use python3.6. Only a subset of the tests uses it: test_python{,3}_site{lib,arch}_value and one parameterized version of test_py3_check_import.

Preferably, we'd adapt the tests upstream to be skipped when python3.6 is not installed (test_python{,3}_site{lib,arch}_value needs to be parameterized instead of running 2 asserts) and remove the requirement on python3.6 downstream.

Alternatively, if in hurry, we can manually deselect the tests in RHEL only.
