4. More useful python3 modules support (Asked by birdzhang - 10 mins) (abranson, 08:08:02)
   1. We have a lot of apps developed by python3 now, and many apps only on openrepos.net. (abranson, 08:08:31)
   2. Most of the reasons are rejected by harbour validator, or too painful to package python modules to our apps, as many useful modules are not pure python, like python3-pillow and python3-beautifulsoup4 etc.. (abranson, 08:08:31)
   3. Please make them official support. (abranson, 08:08:31)
   4. Allowing Python packages is a balancing act. If it's possible to do it in application's, always the better, but if some get used in many applications, take lot of disk space etc, it could be considered to be included. (abranson, 08:10:10)
   5. Helps a lot also if the Python modules are used somewhere by Sailfish. At the moment these are not. Pillow has python2 packaging (python-imaging) but it hasn't been updated for some time and not entirely sure is it used anywhere. (abranson, 08:10:10)
   6. So wouldn't like to promise much, but would be interested in what are the most commonly needed modules. FWIW beautifulsoup seems like pure python, noarch on my Fedora. (abranson, 08:10:10)
