Provides: python(something) = %{py_ver}
and modify pyrequires_eq to require the virtual capability, without an
epoch.

The version required has nothing to do with the python package's EVR,
and everything to do with the Python language variant (including using
the proper /usr/lib/python%{py_ver} path). Correct me if I'm wrong.

This would take a massive attack on ~247 specs.
