Description Ben Cotton 2020-07-16 16:22:32 UTC 
This is a tracking bug for Change: Make the unversioned %{__python} macro error by default
For more details, see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/PythonMacroError

The %{__python} RPM macro (currently defined to /usr/bin/python for backwards compatibility reasons) will be defined to raise an error when used. Any derived macros (%{python}, %{python_version}, %{python_sitleib} etc.) will propagate the error. Packagers can redefine the macro to any actual value to suppress the error. This is consistent with RHEL 8 behavior. Using  /usr/bin/python in Fedora packages remains forbidden.
