Now, python3:3.7 vs. python3:3.8 might be a more interesting question...

The way Python is designed, 3.7 and 3.8 is parallel installable by default.

The only things that conflict are:

 - package names, such as python3 or python3-pytest
 - executable names, such as /usr/bin/python3 or /usr/bin/pytest

By having the python3 modules with 3.7 and 3.8 streams, we would kill this feature of Python while gaining a very little benefit (such as that users/admins might select a stream to determine what version /usr/bin/python3 is).

Not to mention that dnf itself depends on Python, so we would need to have dnf in those modules, or rewrite dnf in Rust or use mcirodnf or have /usr/libexec/platform-python for dnf.
