http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046990 Bug ID: 1046990 Summary: python3-devel should also require python3 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Development Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: markos.chandras@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Hi, We are facing an annoying issue with python3 packages. There are several openstack projects requiring python3-devel. However, this package only requires the 'python3-base' in TW and Leap. This package though doesn't have the XML module which project expect to find when they pull python3-devel. The XML module is located in the python3 package. We have a very strange situation in openSUSE where the python3 interpreter is present in the python3-base package whilst the python3 package contains other modules. As such, we need to do all sorts of things in order to have a reasonably python3 core stack in openSUSE. Can this situation be improved somehow? The python3 package is also described as 'Python3 interpreter' which is misleading. I suggest to modify python3-devel to require the python3 package as well. Then I would suggest to possibly merge python3 and python3-base since the former has some core modules in it which seems like 95% of the python3 installations would want them. Plus, I would expect the python3 interpreter to be in python3 not python3-base so perhaps that's another reason to merge them The situation is also similar in python2 with the xml module being in its own package but I guess it's too late to deal with it now.
