You're conflating two unrelated things there. And worse, your py3 and py2
packages have file collisions in /usr/bin/livereload.

If it's an end user application rather than the library, then the package name
should not include the python prefix. Since supported Fedoras all have py3
available, you should use Python 3 for the package.

If you, for some reason, you also want to have a sub-package that supports
python 2, then you should add a -python2 SUFFIX to the name, and you'll need to
rename the file in /usr/bin to something else, eg livereload-python2. Or,
messily, use the alternatives system.

My recommendation is to drop python 2 support entirely on Fedora, unless the
package ALSO contains libraries for use by other programs. In that case, the
libs should go in subpackages (python3-livereload-libs, and
python-livereload-libs).
