Somebody asked me how we use this.

1) %pyproject_install pretty much delegates to %py3_shebang_fix


2) %py3_shebang_fix uses /usr/bin/pathfix3.X.py to fix shebangs as described in 
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_shebangs
It can be used by packagers directly or via %pyproject_install.


3) Python %install uses it to change shebangs of the standard library to 
#!/usr/bin/python3.X:
