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 repository for the Python programming language. This strange SUSE-specific rule is IMO non-sense and will cause nothing than grief. Renaming existing packages will break *lots* of existing (automated) installation routines. Not if Provides and Obsoletes are used? This convention is wildly violated. I see 15 with python-python and 3 with python3-python. Of course you can find such exceptions. Aren't these the wrongly-named packages you referred to in your first mail?
I fully understand your argument and I'm totally fine with changing the naming-conventions to use the import-name. E.g. fedora too has python3-dns, not python3-dnspython. But I'm not the one who decides anything :) Sebastian -- python programming - mail server - photo - video - https://sebix.at cryptographic key at https://sebix.at/DC9B463B.asc and on public keyservers
