You can perfectly well have Python 2 and 3 coexisting on the same 
Fedora, and use either in your projects.

The packages are made to be installed in parallel, and there shouldn't 
be any conflicts.

Many people are developing applications in Python 2 or Python 3 on the 
same Fedora machine (myself included).

Unless you're hitting a bug, of course.

Could you give more details on what the problem actually is?
