I am working on packaging up a git tool that is written in Python (git-revise: https://github.com/mystor/git-revise), and was wondering if the "python3-%{name}" applies to tools like this, e.g. ones that are written in Python but are designed for use on their own instead of as an importable module (since this creates a /usr/bin/git-revise launcher).
Thanks, -Ian

Generally, no. The python3- naming policy applies only to libraries/modules. See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_naming

Thanks. I had seen that part of the policies, but I wasn't sure what counted as a "module" (I don't work with Python much and so I didn't know if the fact there were items installed into the site packages directory or an egg-info made it count as a module).

OTHO this is available through pypi: https://pypi.org/project/git-revise/%5B1]
and you can create a python module.
Basically your question applies to the name of the srpm. Since it can have a python3 subpackage. :-)
In the case of nikola I opted to name it python-nikola, with a subpackage called nikola that has the binary and the module is in pyhton3-nikola.
At the same I find it handy if a package is available at pypi to be available as python3- <pypiname>.
