I agree that it should be unbundled, as python is big dependency and manual configuration is pretty simple. For precedent, my Fedora doesn't bundle fetchmailconf with fetchmail. Maybe more recent Fedora versions than mine do this; I don't know. In general, I think dependencies larger than the package it supports, that are supporting only a non-core feature, ought to have that non-core feature unbundled. Stephen
