--- Comment #2 from William Moreno <williamjmorenor@xxxxxxxxx> ---
It is a Debian practice to split packages, looking at the Debian Package rows
recomends python-rows and python-rows recomends rows.

https://packages.debian.org/sid/rows
https://packages.debian.org/sid/python-rows

It is curios than the python-rows package in Debian requires python-requests
and python-click if you say than this libraries are only for command line
usage, any way a user will need to add a --no-install-recommends options to
apt-get install to not install only the python-rows package without rows and
python-lxml python-xlrd python-xlwt.

I can include a python-rows-libs subpackage with the python library without any
run time depency but not make sence for me to split a small package like this
one, so for me this should work fine:

Name:      python-rows
Provides:  rows
PythonProvides: python2-rows
Recomends: python-lxml python-xlrd python-xlwt 
Requires:  python-unicodecsv python-click python-requests

The problem is that dnf do not support --no-recomends at the moment :(

For future dnf releases I hope dnf install rows --no-recomends will allow users
to install only the library without the run time dependencies, this will have
the same effect than dnf install python-rows or python2-rows, some in the
futute the python-rows package will redirect to python3-rows so have Python3
support will be good.

Maybe the reviewer of this package can give some feedback about these.
