Other than the packaging reasons: Fedora might attract Python enthusiasts and developers as it is most likely the only Linux distro that has development version of Python packaged nightly. Developers and powerusers can play with new features committed yesterday just by doing `dnf update`.
I actually mentioned this in my recent SciPy keynote, on the grounds that scientists may want to play around with the new matrix multiplication operator without having to build Python from source :)
Yeah, I saw that one on YouTube. Good talk :) Actually, I'd like to advertise this even more, e.g. on some of Python upstream mailing list - on the other hand, I don't want to look like I'm spamming everyone needlessly... What do you think would be the best place to announce this? python-announce-list?
You can get away with a lot on python-ideas, and you're likely to find folks potentially interested in playing around with it there.
