pip3 install says: WARNING: Discarding git+https://github.com/systemd/python-systemd.git#egg=systemd. Requested systemd-python from git+https://github.com/systemd/python-systemd.git#egg=systemd has inconsistent name: filename has 'systemd', but metadata has 'systemd-python' Closes systemd#97.
Bash doesn't do anything special for a command with '#', but at least zsh treat it as a comment. It's better to quote such a commandline.

would be the more modern way of putting this, although I'd omit the apt update. It will complain (nicely) if the sources are out of date.

Isn't the problem that apt isn't available everywhere yet? (I prefer it too, but I thought that apt-get is more widely supported…)

No, it doesn't:
$ podman run -it --rm debian
root@adad5c659058:/# apt install python3-systemd

apt is available in the stretch, which is the oldest listed release for it and stretch has already ended LTS support, so I don't think it's super relevant. There might of course still be super LTS stuff flying around, but I wouldn't think they are a relevant target audience.
Fedora has no python2 package, so drop that. Similarly, with latest Debian and Opensuse, 'apt-get install python3-systemd' works, but 'apt-get install python-systemd' doesn't. (Tested with podman run -it --rm debian apt-get install python3-systemd mock -r opensuse-tumbleweed-x86_64 --enable-network -i python3-systemd) It also seems we never built the package in EPEL, so let's drop RHEL/CentOS from the list. If people need to, they can install from sources where the distro packages are unavailable (and they shouldn't be using python2 anyway at this point.) Also add 'apt-get update' into the instructions because w/o that install does not work in a pristine container. Fixes systemd#78.
