Python packaging policy?

I figured it out myself that I have to avoid "python3-*" packages and instead
to work with "python36-*" or "python38-*" as "python3-*" packages are marked
as "category: _obsolete" in setup.bz2.

Are there any docs that describes policy for python packages in Cygwin?

I had experience with https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/
That document had answers to the most questions.

I tried to search for similar information under:

/usr/share/doc/
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin

and in

git://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-htdocs.git

and haven't succeeded.

I'm interested in a package naming/versioning schema, a migration path across
Python releases and the way of "pip install" to live in harmony with Cygwin.

I don't insist on anything particular but some "official" generic guide how to
cook Python in Cygwin would be helpful.
