[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Should python(abi) be provided by the interpreter or something else? (#395)

[Jeff Johnson]

The python(abi) requirement was originally invented to associate a *.py script in a package with an interpreter package. Most of the Requires: are automatically generated from *.py files (which ultimately determines how the Provides: should be added).

Detailed dependency semantics involving embedded interpreters and libraries and interpreter sub-packaging are largely ad hoc and de facto, so there really isn't any right or wrong, only what "works".
