==== PyPI Parity ==== Machine-readable metadata (''distribution'' names in <code>dist-info</code> directories on disk and the corresponding <code>python3.Xdist(foo)</code> RPM provides) will match the Python Package Index (PyPI). This solves a ''namespace'' issue. Python packaging tools use a flat namespace, and PyPI is ''the'' place where open-source Python packages are generally published, so users and tools assume a package called <code>requests</code> is whatever <code>requests</code> means on PyPI. While this is not ideal (especially for private packages), it makes sense for Fedora to align with the PyPI namespace. Note that Fedora package names are not affected – just the Python packaging metadata on disk and virtual RPM Provides generated from it. The new guidelines cover what to do for packages that cannot be registered on PyPI. The Change owner is prepared to help with PyPI registration. Note that names found in Fedora but not on PyPI [https://github.com/pypa/pypi-support/issues/355 have been reserved on PyPI] to avoid being taken by unrelated projects.samba has extensive Python C bindings but does not use PyPI at all. We don't want to, we don't need to, it is technically not possible without building Samba from scratch and it would not make it usable for PIP install without a stricter coordination of the non-Python dependencies -- that's what Linux distributions do. In addition, 'samba' name is taken by an unrelated package on PyPI which was not updated since 2019. For us this namespacing enforcement would only be a problem.
As long as the RPM package doesn't contain dist-info/egg-info that says "this is a Python package called samba" (and hence doesn't provide e.g. python3dist(samba)), this rule does not apply to samba's Python bindings.
