The EPEL version is correct. See the platform guidelines for python package naming: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python. In addition to following the community guidelines, the EPEL style allows multiple python major versions (python2-xrootd, python3-xrootd).
Note the EPEL packaging takes backward compatibility into account: the package also has Provides: xrootd-python, meaning other package dependencies will continue to resolve.
It'd be useful for Xrootd to follow this change.
