Reading the python packaging guidelines [1] it says that "On releases
older than Fedora 33 [...] it is necessary to use %py_provides".

So I thought that %py_provides was necessary for EPEL7, but with that
macro set, the build fails with "Unknown tag: %py_provides
python3-calcephpy". In EPEL8 I get no errors and the build is completed.

Said that, should I use the old method ("Provides: python3-pkg_resources
= %{version}-%{release}") in EPEL7? Is it necessary?

Hello. CCing the Python and EPEL lists.

You are correct. I can backport the macro to EPEL 7 if it makes your spec files easier:
