I'm not sure why package maintainers would package python packages that are not involved in packages/applications. In some restricted production environments you want to install 3rd-party stuff from outside openSUSE without having to allow Internet access to PyPI or setup your own internal devpi-server.
I hadn't considered that, I guess it depends on where a company wishes to spend their efforts, but it seems easier to host a devpi-server which would give you all the PyPI packages
Even with your own devpi-server you would need a build pipeline, especially for C wrapper modules. With the latter you also have to provide builds for different OS versions. That's not easy too. YMMV. All my customers are different and what's the best way of shipping software can be the cause for religious discussions. Ciao, Michael.
