New package written in Python, without python-*

[Marcelo Barbosa - Fedora Ambassador]

Hi everybody,

    I have a question about the name of a new package and would like
everyone's opinion on this issue, because in our wiki
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PythonNamingDependingOnImplementation)
practically forces whatever is written in Python to have name:
python-% {name}, but I believe this is very bad for our users, if the
package is a tool, not a python module the user would like to use this
package:

# Yum install python-% {name}
$ ./python-% {Name}-u xxx-p xxx-f file1.txt file2.txt

    This is not the real purpose of the package, which aims to be a
tool for use by our users.
    There are also packages in Fedora are tools that are written in
Python and is not named python-% {name}, eg fpaste
(https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/fpaste/sources/spec).
    I created this ticket and transmit it to everyone to view and opine:

Thank you.
