How does redhat recommend that RPMs require python >= 2.x?  In version
7.x it seems that there are separate python (v1.x) and python2 (2.x)
packages, so an RPM cannot simply specify python >= 2.x.  However,
other distributions don't seem to have a problem with calling python
2.x "python", so an RPM that requires "python2" would work with redhat
but not anyone else.

    Also, eventually will "python" be upgraded to 2.x (so this is only
a temporary problem, maybe not worth dealing with) or will python 2.x
always be called "python2"?  Thanks.
