Any reason why so many Python module packages have the misnomer python-python-* as package names? And the set of this misnomers even grow.
Why get these packages accepted then at all?
Since ages the convention is that a distribution package name of a Python module should be "python-<import-name>".
The wiki says: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_Python#Naming_policy
All Python module packages, whether pure Python or C-based, should be
called python-modulename. modulename should be the name of this module on the Python Package Index, the official third-party software
This rule is actively enforced from a couple of SuSE people, that didn't accept a submission to d:l:py with a differing name, namely Sascha Peilicke.
Where and when was this discussed *before* enforcing this weird naming convention? Ciao, Michael.
