Ilegal char when computing python dependencies

[Sergio Pascual]

Hi, I have a python package that has most of its information in setup.cfg.
I'm updating to python-photutils 0.7.2 and when mock is computing the
Requires it shows:

Requires: libc.so.6()(64bit) libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)(64bit) python(abi) = 3.8 python3.8dist(numpy) >= 1.13
rtld(GNU_HASH)
Obsoletes: python-photutils < 0.7.2-1.fc33
Recommends: python3-matplotlib python3-scikit-image python3-scipy
RPM build errors:
    Illegal char '*' (0x2a) in: 3.0.*
Child return code was: 1

This is caused by the following line in setup.cfg

[options]
...
install_requires =
    astropy>=2.0.12,!=3.0.*,!=3.1,!=3.1.1

I don't know if the * character is allowed here and the error is a
limitation in the management of RPM dependencies or if this is not valid
python.

Best. Sergio

This is bug in Python RPM dependency generator. I'm not sure if it is fixed
upstream, but if it is - we need to backport it.

Can you open issue at https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm ?

I'm running fedora 31. The package is being built for fedora 33

As a workaround, please patch the * out from upstream metadata. We have 4.0, so 
you can replace it with:

astropy>3.1.1
