Hence it | would not be subject to Fedora's naming guidelines for Python modules. At Fedora we don't prepend the "python-" prefix to applications written in Python. Naming the package for the program "SnapPy" http://www.math.uic.edu/t3m/SnapPy/ "python-snappy" would be strange. But the "program" includes a Python module called "snappy", too: http://www.math.uic.edu/t3m/SnapPy/snappy.html So, the application package would conflict with the existing "snappy" Fedora package. Naming it "python-snappy" would cause confusion and a conflict with "python-snappy" from review request 1244514, and naming that one "python-python-snappy", well, that's why I suggested consulting the packaging@ list. ;-) -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
