Looking at the package list I can see:
python-sphinx
and
python2-sphinx
From this I conclude that python-sphinx is python3 version of sphinx right? Do you think that's sane (from user experience point of view) assuming that /usr/bin/python should point to python2?

- davexunit 11y agoYes, python-sphinx is the Python 3 version of Sphinx. Note that Guix does not conform to the FHS, and thus has no /usr directory.
- rkuska 11y agoYet anyway as a python user I would expect to receive python2 version when installing python-sphinx. In Fedora we have (most recent change in packaging guidelines): Source rpm: python-foo which generates binary rpms: python2-foo and python3-foo where python2-foo has virtual provides for python-foo, once Python3 will become THE default python by the upstream merits we will change python-foo provides to python3-foo package.
