It seems that the dataclasses is not packaged in a dedicated package on the dunfell branch according to sources here https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/recipes-devtools/python/python3/python3-manifest.json?h=dunfell So it ends up in python3-misc which have a lot of things: $ oe-pkgdata-util find-path /usr/lib/python3.8/dataclasses.py python3-misc: /usr/lib/python3.8/dataclasses.py Should we package it in a dedicated package or another one? What would you suggest?

For master I just sent a patch moving it into -core, because itÿs a fairly fundamental package. For dunfell, moving it now is probably not a great idea, but at least you know now what package to RDEPEND on to get the class. (or, you can RDEPEND on python3-modules and you get the entire standard library) Ross
