Description Adam Williamson 2016-03-22 02:33:57 UTC 
The python2 and python3 hawkey packages don't install an egg, so you can't express dependencies on hawkey in a setup.py file, because setuptools can't tell that hawkey is installed because there's no egg.

Please, describe the use case why you want this in the original bug to raise the priority. Which components do you have that could not be packaged as rpms? Thanks.

* actually wrong not the same component.
Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2016-03-31 13:07:12 UTC 
the thing I was working on at the time *is* packaged as an rpm, but that doesn't mean you can just whiff on this. just because something is packaged as an rpm doesn't mean everyone who ever wants to deploy it will always do so from the rpm, and it's commonly the case that people generate package dependencies from setup.py dependencies.

Thank you very much for information. According to yours unique requirement we would like to ask you, if you can try to make a fix by yourself and directly test it on your case. We will be very happy to see your contributions.

it's not remotely a 'unique' situation, but, I mean, sure, I can send a patch some time, I guess.
