Closed Opened by jkurik.

Closed
Reopen Issue

For the 2016-Jul-15 meeting as the Change Proposal was announced on devel-announce@ list on 2016-Jun-30.

Upon building Python packages containing packaging metadata, RPM will automatically detect the standardized name of the software (i.e. dist name, name on PyPI) in the canonical format[1] and create a virtual Provides tag with the value pythonX.Ydist(CANONICAL_NAME), where X.Y is the used Python version.
