As many of you may be aware, FPC has been fielding several tickets surrounding python packaging lately, and the last one was a sizable reorganization that unfortunately was based on an older version of the guidelines. While merging it all together I just said screw it and just cleaned up the page like I've always wanted to do.
I suggest anyone who hasn't lost sanity due to this whole guidelines revision process pile onto: https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/552#comment:4
Here's the contents of that comment to save you a click.
OK, this was a lot of stuff, and the more I worked on it, the more annoyed I became. Plus the wiki kept eating my edits and I kept getting lost in the overhuge page. So, I've probably gone too far in cleaning up but I'll present what I have and if people yell at me then I'll try something less ambitious.
There are now three pages: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Tibbs/PythonCleanup2 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python_F21 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Tibbs/PythonAppendix

Functionally I do not believe I have gone beyond anything upon which we voted but I wanted to toss this out there and see if anyone yells before I copy it into place. Been trying to get this done for three days now and I think I'm finally there.
Hi Jason, thanks for doing this, excelent work! I have only three comments: - I'm not sure what the "%{python_provides:%python_provide python2-%{pypi_name}}" are supposed to do, did you mean to use "%{?python_provide:...}" (i.e. without the "s" and with question mark)? - My last point from comment [1], later described more at [2], still deserves more discussion, I'd like to hear opinions of other folks as well. - Same applies to the fourth point from my comment at [1].
