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. While I don't like the scheme much, it also has upsides: you can both search on PyPI and py2pack is able to locate and fetch the package unambiguously, with the name derived from the spec name (omitting python-). In that light, speaking of violating some arbitrary naming scheme is invidious. IOW, which naming scheme do we have to follow tomorrow?
