This is mixing up a few different points: 1. Python level requirements can be translated to RPM level "Requires: pythonXYdist(PyPI-package-name)" requirements if the dependency is packaged in Fedora (where "XY" = the target Python version) 2. pyp2rpm (see https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyp2rpm) will attempt to generate appropriate dependency entries for you 3. Application software that is designed to be deployed as a standalone Python virtual environment can still be packaged as a (non-Fedora) SRPM that doesn't require internet access during the build phase by doing the following: - use pip download to get all the relevant source packages - add the project *and its dependencies* to the SRPM as SourceN entries (alternatively, bundle the deps into a single archive for ease of extraction) - create the virtual environment in %build, install the project and its dependencies, and package *that* as the RPM We're actually having some occasional discussions about how we might be able to incorporate that last approach into the official Fedora guidelines for cases where a Python level dependency *isn't* shared, and is instead specific to that application.
