This problem is covered extensively in the guidelines:
If the executables provide the same functionality independent of whether they are run on top of Python 2 or Python 3, then only one version of the executable should be packaged. On releases up to and including F21, this was the python 2 implementation. Python3 should be used in F22 and later if supported by upstream. [...] Transitioning from python2 to python3 is left to individual package maintainers[...] The switch as "default" was accepted as https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python_3_as_Default. > While /usr/bin/python points to /usr/bin/python2 and python-foo provides > python2 version > of the foo package I would expect binary foo to run on python2. Fedora is finally switching to Python 3. E.g. /usr/bin/dnf now uses Python 3, and a lot of other things also. > This applies for modules binaries such as pytest (nosetests, pip, ...) where > is > difference between running python2 and python3 version of the binary.

Yes. > Therefore I suggest to switch order of pyX_install macros. Eeee, no. Let's use Python 3 by default.
