Fedora loves Python: the distro and the language ecosystem
summary
Fedora repackages PyPI projects into RPMs, runs license and security reviews, and focuses on integration across system packages so Python libraries and the OS actually work together; the Python SIG and Red Hat python-maint aim to minimize distro-only patches (historically 40 patches down to 7), build and test all supported Python versions, and are already doing Python 3.9 rebuilds to catch regressions before release.
