Improvement proposal: there was an idea on the meeting today that there should be a ignore list for files/directories we don't want to scan. This would apply for example for dist directory or entitle.py - if we decide that we don't want to install the python package python-rhsm with FreeIPA.

Ignore list is already in, it was there from the beginning.

Yes but dist needs to be added to the list.

And you may be able to dynamically add to it based on failed imports. Right now there are only a couple of optional components so you can do something like:

# convert IGNORE_* to lists instead of tuples

try:
    from rhsm.certificate import EntitlementCertificate
except ImportError:
    IGNORE_FILES.append('ipalib/plugins/entitle.py')
