I am trying to install python-requests rpm on almalinux 8 os. But there is no package available for el8 for python-requests. There is an alternative available "python2-requests". Can I go ahead with installing python2-requets and make the relevant changes for required package in my rpm or are there any major differences between the 2.

python-requests is the source package (src.rpm). python2-requests is the resulting package with python2 library. This is to differentiate from resulting package with python3 library python3-requests. If package is well designed then the same python-requests.src.rpm produces python2-requests.rpm for el8 systems and python3-requests.rpm for el9 systems.
