Hello,
Is there a policy regarding the inclusion of header files in Python packages? Should they be moved to a -devel sub package in these cases? I see that numpy includes them for example:
$ rpmls python3-numpy | grep \.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/__multiarray_api.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/__ufunc_api.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/_neighborhood_iterator_imp.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/_numpyconfig.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/arrayobject.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/arrayscalars.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/halffloat.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/ndarrayobject.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/ndarraytypes.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/noprefix.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_1_7_deprecated_api.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_3kcompat.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_common.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_cpu.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_endian.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_interrupt.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_math.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_no_deprecated_api.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_os.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/numpyconfig.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/old_defines.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/oldnumeric.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/random/bitgen.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/ufuncobject.h -rw-r--r-- /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/utils.h
It came up during the review of python-graph-tool, and if I should move the files out to a separate -devel sub package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1763597
