# NOTE(jan.gutter): this section has many pitfalls, and lacks test
# coverage. Rather than rewrite the logic to be more pleasing, and risk
# changing the behavior for folks who depend on edge cases, it has been
# preferrable to amend this with special cases, for the time being.
#
# RPM distros have diverged in behavior: packages and aliases are not
# consistent. The following example illustrates some known behavior for
# python_version "3.12"
#
# Fedora/EL9/EL10 (manually tested):
# working:
# - python312
# - python3.12
# - python3.12-devel
# not working:
# - python312-devel
#
# OpenSuSE (inferred from rpmfind.net):
# working:
# - python312
# - python312-devel
# not working:
# - python3.12
# - python3.12-devel

# exception below this task for system python versions.
