FYI, we discussed recently on irc about generating packages dependencies.
Could be an interesting read.

generator in Fedora
To: Fedora Python SIG <python-devel at lists.fedoraproject.org>


Hello all,

It's been a while since I messaged this list about the new dependency
generator being upstreamed into RPM[0]. Since then, I've taken your
valuable feedback and incorporated it into the version that now sits
in RPM git master[1].

A little bit ago, I pushed a package to Copr[2] that includes this
updated dependency generator, and I would love for people to take a
look at it, try it out, and see how well it works. Instructions on
setting up and configuring are on the Copr page.

I'd also love this become enabled in Fedora's Python stack for Fedora
25, giving us nice Provides/Requires chains that are independent of
the package name, but map more closely to PyPi names that people would
recognize from using pip or other tools.

We already have similar things in place for Ruby, Mono, Perl, and even
MinGW in Fedora, so it'd be nice to have it on the Python side, too.

Best regards,
Neal
