This seems to have broken building some python srpms:

Executing command: ['bash', '--login', '-c', '/usr/bin/rpmbuild -bs --target
noarch --nodeps /builddir/build/SPECS/scipy.spec'] with env {'LANG':
'en_US.UTF-8', 'TERM': 'vt100', 'SHELL': '/bin/bash', 'PROMPT_COMMAND':
'printf "\x1b]0;<mock-chroot>\x07<mock-chroot>"', 'PATH':
'/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin', 'HOME': '/builddir', 'HOSTNAME': 'mock'} and
shell False
error: line 53: Invalid version (epoch must be unsigned integer):
%{epoch}:0.16.1-1.fc24: Provides:       scipy = %{epoch}:0.16.1-1.fc24

This is from the automatically generated Provides form %python_provide.  It does:

        vr = rpm.expand("%{?epoch:%{epoch}:}%{version}-%{release}")

to generate the version request, so perhaps epoch is getting handled
inconsistently?
