Well, there is
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Libraries_and_Applications
which I don't think is particularly vague.

Which is covered by the "Mixed Use Packages" section, isn't it?

This question isn't unique to Python, which is why it's in the main
packaging guidelines.  If you believe that Python should be stricter
here or has special requirements, then you can certainly propose some
Python-specific guidelines.  Languages which have more complete
automatic dependency generation don't particularly need to care outside
of the requirement to subpackage for purposes of dependency
minimization.
