Fedora is implementing a system to automatically add reliable, distro-agnostic provides to their python packages [1]. This apparently originally came from Mandriva and Mageia, according to the mailing list discussion [2]. They are also adding macros to make these easier to use, so you can use the macros to depend on the right provides automatically. This seems like something that would make it much easier to handle python packages in a distro-agnostic manner. The downside is it requires rebuilding all python packages to work, which may limit its applicably to previous openSUSE/SLE releases. What does everything think about implementing this on our end as well? I am not exactly clear from the discussion what exactly it would entail.
