HI!
Any reason why so many Python module packages have the misnomer python-python-* as package names? And the set of this misnomers even grow.
As mentioned in other answers, the rule is to use python-<pypi-name> as package name. And we use that rule to convert pip requirements (which refer to the pypi name and are often given from te requirements.txt file or the setup.cfg file) to rpm package names. That would be impossible when you use python-<import-name>.
Changing names of existing packages without resolving a real issue for that package breaks installation code. It boils down to avoid using distribution packages.
Can you give a concrete example where it breaks something? At least I tried to follow [1] and added the Provides/Obsoletes when I renamed a package so the dependencies should still be resolvable.
