The fundamental problem is that the Python 3 transition has mutilated the once
simple Python landscape into something barely recognizable. Rpm cannot possibly
know what the "default python" is when such a thing no longer exists -
/usr/bin/python could point to anything at all or not even exist, and certainly
Python 2 and 3 are not freely interchangeable.
I see roughly three alternatives here:
a) simply declare python 3 as the new default from rpm POV and start defaulting
to it everywhere
b) drop the notion of "default python" and split these macros into two
versioned ones
c) just kick this stuff out entirely and let distros sort out their own
particular messes
