I'm confused.
Without adding Provides:        %{name}-%{version}, I have:

rpm -q --provides -p ~/RPM/RPMS/x86_64/igraph-devel-0.5-8.fc8.x86_64.rpm 
igraph-devel = 0.5-8.fc8

igraph-devel and python-igraph have the same version, but different release,
so don't I need this provides in igraph-devel and requires in
python-igraph, so the requirement is:
igraph-devel = 0.5
without release number?
