Hello all,
While checking out the SPEC file of python, it seems there were some packages that, while
separate at some point, they got included in python's stdlib and then obsoleted as
standalone packages (thus to cope with the change, python was obsoleting these packages
and providing them as well in the SPEC). So every package that currently (Build)Requires
any of these packages will essentially drag python with it.
I will remove these provides soon, since the packages were orphaned long time ago, but
the packages that still require them, will need to be fixed and (Build)Require python
instead.
My suggestion would be to request provenpackager access and just fix all
those packages yourself in rawhide. If you file bugs, these are probably
going to take quite a bit of time to get fixed and you won't be able to
drop the compatibility provides for several Fedora releases.
