[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Python module's name changed unnecessarily, making it impossible to express dependencies on it (#373)

[Jeff Johnson]

The key issue here is "What is the failure mode?".

If setup tools is constructing module paths from egg-info Name: directives (which is rather deficient) then there is no solution available (AFAICT) except to feed a Name: directive in some alternative egg-info file.

If Name: is purely informative, then something like a symlink within site-packages might be a sufficient finesse.

Without installing & running Fedora and using strike, its hard to differentiate which of this solutions might "fix" your problem.

BTW, you also need to differentiate between python models (which can be sub-classed), and C=modules like rpm-python (which are sub-typed, not sub-classed).
