### Dist-info metadata
Each Python package **MUST** include *Package Distribution
Metadata* conforming to [PyPA
specifications](https://packaging.python.org/specifications/)
(specifically, [Recording installed
distributons](https://packaging.python.org/specifications/recording-installed-packages/)).
This applies to libraries (e.g. `python-requests`) as well as
tools (e.g. `ansible`).

dist-info usually corresponds to an importable module, so let's say
that it SHOULD be in the same subpackage as the importable module?
But if you split that module, which submodule does the dist-info go to?
I'd leave it to the packager; all these cases are different.
That's why I suggested the SHOULD, because there will be exceptions.
But I think these guidelines might be read by people who will not be
actively aware of the relationship between dist-info and a Python
importable module, so I would add guidance that these should be
together if possible.
Please suggest the wording you'd like to see.
The one you have has the problem that there can be more importable
modules in one project. It doesn't give any guidance for what to do if
you split the project.
Of course, if you put importable module(s) in one subpackage and
documentation in another, the dist-info should be with the module(s).
I'm trying to read this guide through the eyes of someone starting out
with Fedora and/or Python, so I'd rather not assume people know these
details.
How about:
When software is split into several subpackages, it is OK to only
ship metadata in one built RPM. If the project contains an
importable module(s), the metadata SHOULD be included in the same
subpackage as the (main) importable module.
(First sentence already was in the text, I included it for context.)
I added it. I put the **SHOULD** sentence near the top of the section to
align to the organization of the document: rules first,
explanations/examples under them.

## Tests
### Running tests
If a test suite exists, it **MUST** be run in the `%check` section
and/or in Fedora CI.
You **MAY** exclude specific failing tests.
You **MUST NOT** disable the entire testsuite or ignore the result
to solve a build failure.
As an exception, you **MAY** disable tests with an appropriate
`%if` conditional (e.g. bcond) when
[bootstrapping](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#bootstrapping).
I would like to see either that the bcond SHOULD be named `tests`
(or possibly `check`), or if that's too strong, at least recommend
these two as common bcond names.
I agree, but it should be a Fedora-wide guideline.
True. Does anyone know if this is already in progress somewhere? I
remember it being talked about. Otherwise I guess the best way will
be for me to open a new thread about this.
Please do.
Here we go:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/de...@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/443LZIX4XLZL6NMF3M7HAGHKPNA4TRYN/
>>
In the meantime, I would at least list these as common bcond names,
as Fedora-wide guidelines might take a while.
The Python guidelines will also take a while, and I'd like to avoid
giving different guidelines than what we come up with for Fedora.
Makes sense. I've added an "XXX" note to the text so we don't forget to
address this later.
Thanks!
