== Summary ==
Python 3 traditionally in Fedora was built with a shared library
libpython3.?.so and the final binary was dynamically linked against
that shared library. This change is about creating the static library
and linking the final python3 binary against it, as it provides
significant performance improvement, up to 27% depending on the
workload. The static library will not be shipped. The shared library
will continue to exist in a separate subpackage. In essence, python3
will no longer depend on libpython.
It seems that we have one group of people who prefer speed and another group of people who prefer saved space.
Instead of focusing on a swiss-knife to satisfy everybody (which will not work), can we have python3-static **and**
python3-dynamic (*) packages and let users decide which one will be installed and handle `/usr/bin/python3` using
`alternatives(8)`?
Then FESCO can "only" decide which one will be the default. And that is far less controversial than deciding whether you
will be forced to use a time-saving or space-saving solution.
(*) The names can vary. It would be probably something like python3 vs. python3-dynamic or python3 vs. python3-static.
