But I'd still like to add documentation on %py3_check_import, which should hopefully be ready in a week or two: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/packaging@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/C4AHZ7EIQUM2YXEF6HU3BCNZUIIQ22EW/

Available in Rawhide now. I've added a blurb to the current guidelines in https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/1081 -- ready to be expanded in the test section of the new ones.

We discussed this at this weeks meeting (https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2021-07-08/fpc.2021-07-08-16.08.txt):

(Packages using these usually use the <+%py3_install+>> or <+%py3_install_wheel+ macro>>...

The macro links don't seem to work in this case because the anchors are not present in this document.

I've rebased (to solve a conflict), and added a few new changes as commits for easier review.
It's ready to merge from my POV.

This is ready to be merged. I plan to do it once python3-devel requires pyproject-rpm-macros.
