There is a difference if we translate pip requirements (eg via 
metaextract[1]) to rpm requires (assuming that other pip packages use 
the correct name). The name we should use is then one that is written in 
the setup.py/setup.cfg file. Which is "gogs_client". So the correct name 
is imo python-gogs_client .

Best,
