    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-whisper

whisper as library is python3 compatible, the executables not yet (AFAIK).
