(tkinter is actually a subpackage of python itself)

I guess you know what I mean here, but to be clear:

tkinter is only an example, we got more, like pyserial, PyYAML...

Oh, I see. Some time ago, FPC has accepted a change that says, that packages with "py" in name should be prefixed with "python-" anyway [1]. Since this only applies to newly created packages, we will have to cope with this, unfortunately. So my idea of handling this would be:

• all packages must have Provides: python-*
• packages that weren't prefixed with "python-" previously (pyserial, PyYAML), should also carry an explicit Provides/Obsoletes for the old name.

Sounds good?

What about packages named without the python- prefix for consistency [1] with other distros ?

Which rule should prevail ?

The python- naming guidelines take precedence as they are more specific to the situation than the general naming guideline.
