Overview
+BuildRequires: %{pythons}
I suppose you just need setuptools and python-base which is pulled by this, you would reduce requirement for the X stack prior the builds.
It uses distutils, not setuptools
You just need %{python_module base} then, yet for proper egg.info stuff setuptools would work too and generate it correctly.
So you want me to patch the setup.py to use setuptools instead of distutils? What benefit does the setuptools generated stuff have over distutils?
No no, if you have setuptools present on the system they overshadow distutils so even if you write import distutils it should actually use setuptools.
My only problem is that you now depend on full python and you should not do so.
Im not familiar with the auto-overshadowning of distutils. Is that part of python or something special opensuse is doing? Anyways, will fix the buildrequires
It is not openSUSE doing this, I've just noticed that if you have setuptools on system or not results in different egg.info generated even if the base pkg is distutils only.
The changelog says "Remove unnecessary build dependency python-devel and python-setuptools", but it still has setuptools as a build dependency.
