Hi Amit,

Hi all,
I am Amit and just joined the mailing list here to keep track of
Python developments on Fedora.
Welcome :)
I had a rather subjective question and I may have missed any
documentation on the same. Python packages are easily installed via
'pip-python'. For Python packages which are not yet packaged for
Fedora, is it a great value addition if I would pick it up and
package
it? Or, should I consider it only if I or someone else needs it to be
there in the Fedora repositories for a reason - for example, I wanted
to include 'picloud' client library in the Scientific Spin and hence
decided to package it [1].
Does the SIG consider an interest in packaging any useful Python
module for Fedora as a value addition to the Fedora community? What
determines its acceptance, other than the package being correctly
built/conforming to the guidelines?
My point of view:
Packaging a useful Python module is always welcome. Noone will say "hey, stop it, we
don't need that". If you invest your time in packaging the module and you are
willing to maintain it, then it's always a valuable addition to Fedora. Usually, I
only package modules that I need or someone else requests. It wouldn't make sense to
just package everything you come upon :) But again, it is your choice and your time you
put into doing this, so in the end it's your decision.
Speaking about acceptance criteria, I think Fedora will accept any package that has no
legal issues and goes through a formal review.
