As the package name says it does not need python, it finds python:

Description-en: GNU R functions to find an acceptable Python binary
 This GNU R package is designed to find an acceptable Python
 binary.  It is possible to specify a minimum and a maximum Python
 version as well as specifying needed Python modules.

"python3 | python" looks correct to me for that.
