Ilegal char when computing python dependencies

[Sergio Pascual <sergio.pasra@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I have a python package that has most of its information in setup.cfg. I'm updating to python-photutils 0.7.2 and when mock is computing the Requires it shows:

Requires: libc.so.6()(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit) python(abi) = 3.8 python3.8dist(numpy) >= 1.13 rtld(GNU_HASH)
Obsoletes: python-photutils < 0.7.2-1.fc33
Recommends: python3-matplotlib python3-scikit-image python3-scipy
RPM build errors:
    Illegal char '*' (0x2a) in: 3.0.*
Child return code was: 1

This is caused by the following line in setup.cfg

[options]
...
install_requires =
    astropy>=2.0.12,!=3.0.*,!=3.1,!=3.1.1

I don't know if the * character is allowed here and the error is a limitation in the management of RPM dependencies or if this is not valid python.

Best. Sergio
