Details

Description:
It is more consistent with other packages to split package the Python files into python-libcec as it is done with Debian for example (https://packages.debian.org/source/libcec) to reduce disk usage and filesystem clutter when Python support is not needed.

Python files:
/usr/bin/pyCecClient
/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/_cec.so
/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cec.py

Additional info:
* libcec 6.0.2-2
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  python optdepend is fine imo

I don't see those python files in libcec-6.0.2-2.
Comment by Jonathan Liu (net147) - Saturday, 19 February 2022, 11:16 GMT
@Allan I believe libcec-6.0.2-2 is missing python in makedepends so Python isn't detected and Python support enabled.

Neither of those are reasons to split a package. You'll notice that this isn't Debian.
Comment by Ike Devolder (BlackEagle) - Saturday, 19 February 2022, 15:45 GMT
Having python as an optdepend is sufficient imo
