Default Python version macros

For situations when an application (i.e. not a library) is compatible with both Python 3 and Python 2, the default Python version should be used. Depending on Fedora release number the default Python version might differ. For packagers' convenience and better spec readability, the following set of macros is provided:

Macro Fedora >= 22 Fedora <= 21
python_default_version 3 2
__python_default %{__python3} %{__python2}
python_default_sitelib %{python3_sitelib} %{python2_sitelib}
python_default_sitearch %{python3_sitearch} %{python2_sitearch}
python_default_devel python3-devel python2-devel
python_default_prefix python3- python-
python_default_prefix_only3 python3- (empty string)

Note: The Fedora release since when Python 3 is the default might change.

Example spec file using this approach:

Name:           fooapp
Version:        1.0.0
Release:        1%{?dist}
