Hi!
Just a little correction, despite the name suggesting otherwise, the
"python38-devel" package is not in the python38-devel module, but in the
python38 module itself, which has a default stream.
The python38-devel module contains only python38-pytest and it's dependencies
(pyparsing, atomicwrites, attrs, packaging, py, more-itertools, pluggy,
wcwidth). And the reason it's not default is not an intention but a current
technical limitation of the automatically generated "-devel" modules shipped
in the CRB.

Since pytest is usually a build dependency, then theoretically you could have
non-modular python38 packages in EPEL, since all the important stuff is in
python38 with a default stream.

Except that we are going to need python38-pytest, etc. in the EPEL8 buildroot
if we are going to build (most of) the packages in the first place. That's
the problem I'm running into now trying to build python38-jmespath:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=83570866
DEBUG util.py:444: No matching package to install: 'python38-pytest'
So I'm back to my original questions:
* Do we just make EPEL python38- packages as modules or try to hack up some
kind of build system support for it?
* If modules, every package a module or one (or a few) modules?
