Introduction and a query

Hi all,

I am Amit and just joined the mailing list here to keep track of
Python developments on Fedora.

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?

Thanks,
Amit
