Description Carl George 2019-04-03 15:18:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
Installing the createrepo_c Python bindings via the python3-createrepo_c package is not recognized by Python packaging tools.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python3-createrepo_c-0.10.0-19.fc28.x86_64
python3-createrepo_c-0.12.2-1.fc29.x86_64
python3-createrepo_c-0.12.2-1.fc30.x86_64
python3-createrepo_c-0.12.2-1.fc31.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install python3-createrepo_c
2. pip3 list | grep createrepo

Actual results:
no output

Expected results:
createrepo-c     <some version>

Additional info:
I'd like pip to be able to recognize the system install of python3-createrepo_c so that way a pip install of local source code doesn't try to install the createrepo_c dependency from PyPI, which fails due to missing development libraries.
Comment 1 Carl George 2019-04-03 15:36:43 UTC 
I found that creating a dist-info directory and INSTALLER file works as a temporary workaround for pip to see the system package.  This probably isn't a complete fix but it works for now.

mkdir /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/createrepo_c-0.12.2.dist-info
touch /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/createrepo_c-0.12.2.dist-info/INSTALLER

Comment 2 Carl George 2019-04-03 20:56:58 UTC 
Nevermind, that doesn't work after all.  It makes it show up in a `pip3 list` but running `pip3 install -e .` or `python3 setup.py install` gives this error.

error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/createrepo_c-0.12.2.dist-info/METADATA'
Comment 3 amatej 2019-06-13 09:20:13 UTC 
I created a PR: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/createrepo_c/pull/167

It should add the missing metadata to python3-createrepo_c and python2-createrepo_c
