preoccupied.faux-rpm is a distribution providing an rpm python
package and associated sub-modules. This package has no functional
behavior, its callable members are no-ops. It exists for cases where a
tool needs to be run against a package with an rpm dependency, but
where it does not actually invoke any code paths that would trigger
the use of that dependency.
My personal use case is with MyPy's stubtest and stubgen tools.
I have been writing stubs for a module which imports rpm. At no point
do I need to actually execute anything, I simply need the import to not
fail. This project allowed me to continue on a non-RPM host machine.
