    Hi all,

    According
        to the Fedora Packaging guidelines for Python [0], if a Python
        package that
        supports Python 3 installs executables
        into /usr/bin, then either both Python versions of the executables
        should be packaged, or only the Python 3 version, depending on
        the functionality they provide.

    However,
        after going through all Python 3-compatible packages for Fedora, we have identified up to ~30 packages
        which provide both python2- and python3- subpackages with
        executables available only in the Python
        2 version. For more information about obtaining the list refer to the GitHub issue [1]. The list of the affected
        packages is available
        here [3].

    Before
        doing mass bug filing, I would like to post the list of packages
        here, to get feedback or ideas on how this can be fixed in a
        better way and encourage packagers to do the changes. If you are in Cc, then
          you are owing at least one of the affected packages. The guide
          for porting Python-based RPMs is available here [2] and you
          may refer to it for more instructions.

      python-py2neo
      python-pygments
      python-rosdep
      python-rosinstall
      python-whisper

Honestly I would go with a mass bug filing. Thanks for the heads up to the list though I'll try and check a few of these this weekend to bring some in line.

Migrated certbot over to py3 in fedora only last week but forgot that acme (one of its dependencies) has that jws bin using py2 (which it only did because the sole use of the library, certbot, didn't support py3 at the time).
