I'd prefer python-devel-2.3.4-xxx, python-devel-2.4.0-xxx. The reason
is that python packages (modules and apps, not python itself) should
have a plain

BuildRequires: python-devel >=3D 2.2

Otherwise you end up rewriting specfiles for rebuilding packages on
different pythons.

Python package developers (PyVaultians? ;) need to take care to have a
build-system that allows picking the right python-devel out of
multiple. ypt/yum will always pull in the latest, which will be the
right choice for most applications.

python-devel could of course just be an intermediate stub for
pythonXX-devel.

Yes, the latest rpm features of implicit Provides/Obsoletes are rather
interesting ... :/

(If I had a quick handle to patch them out, I surely would, the pain
is rather high ...)
