Sorry, I didn't quote enough context.

My "after the release" was refering to fixing install to help with SELinux 
rather than anything to do with python.

------

I don't know anything about PEP or how anybody thinks that python should 
be installed.  I have tweaked buildprep for the distros I can easily test 
so that it installs the package that sets up 'python' and added a comment 
to indicate that's what it's doing.  So several distros think a separate 
package for 'python" makes sense.  Of course, that may be leftover from 
when python2 was still important.
