When installing perl modules I can use dnf install 'perl(Module)' Is there an equivalent for python? I tried python(module) but it doesn't work.
dnf install 'python(six)' Last metadata expiration check: 0:05:32 ago on Thu 01 Mar 2018 11:37:54 AM CET. No match for argument: python(six) Error: Unable to find a match
You are probably looking for the pip package manager:
pip search searchterm
for example
pip search six
Just type pip to see a list of all available commands.
Though, you can find many python related packages using dnf: dnf search python, example: dnf search python | grep six
The dnf method is:
dnf provides 'python*(six)'
It has a wildcard '*' because there are python2 as well as pyton3 versions available, and they are different.
What each package actually provides are these:
dnf repoquery --provides python2-six
python-six = 1.11.0-1.fc27
python2-six = 1.11.0-1.fc27
python2.7dist(six) = 1.11.0
python2dist(six) = 1.11.0
dnf repoquery --provides python3-six
python3-six = 1.11.0-1.fc27
python3.6dist(six) = 1.11.0
python3dist(six) = 1.11.0
To install python3 version of six you can run
dnf install 'python3dist(six)'
PS:
Be careful when using pip. It can break the dnf command in such a way that it is hard to recover from.
