Hi,
I've noticed that some python3 packages I need are, in fact,

and that some other cannot be unified at the moment, if ever.
Also with the expectation of a mass-conversion d:l:p3 has been a tad neglected lately, so I was wondering if the packages above could be rehomed to d:l:p.
Or perhaps it's too early?
The new python singlespec approach can support "python3-only" packages and therefore the package should be able to find a home in d:l:p. See https://en.opensuse.org/ openSUSE:Packaging_Python_Singlespec#Packages_for_single_Python_version for details
Last time I tried it didn't work. Also I refer to the "As of 2017-03-07, however, this is untested and probably broken." clause.
Has the problem been fixed, to your knowledge?
Many packages do work based on the singlespec recipes and this is merely a "disclaimer" because some packages for sure still don't yet fully work.
"Untested and probably broken" sounds like a somewhat strong disclaimer. In fact, I tried again a moment ago and couldn't make it work. Do you have a link to a working python3-only module packaged as singlespec? Oliver Kurz-2 wrote
In any case, what to do about packages that can't be unified because they are developed elsewhere than d:l:p?
I don't see a reason why the singlespec approach can not be used just because the package is developed elsewhere also I can not answer that question.
If the maintainers of said devel project won't/can't support the singlespec approach for the time being, I'd say it's a problem. So, in that case, would python3- packages be acceptable in d:l:p?
