The %parent-%child naming guidelines have not existed always. It used to be okay for packages to start with "py". I don't think all packagers are aware of those guidelines yet. Current guidelines: * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Addon_Packages_.28General.29 * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Addon_Packages_.28python_modules.29 * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Addon_Packages_.28python3_modules.29 > For a package changing name, a package re-review is needed.

There are enough packages that _end_ with -python, e.g. xmms2-python is a Python module. # yum list \*-python|wc -l 174 There are also conflicts, such as: # yum list python-ufl ufl-python Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit Available Packages python-ufl.noarch 1.0.0-6.fc20 fedora ufl-python.noarch 0.1-0.4.pre.fc20 fedora It's in bugzilla since February without a response. -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
