Description Pierre-YvesChibon 2015-10-26 20:53:45 UTC

Hi,

There seems to be an epel7 branch for python-aiohttp: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/python-aiohttp/
but I can't find traces of a build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=19224

Would you mind if I rebuild the rawhide version and push it to epel7?

Thanks

aiohttp seems to be Py3 only.

Comment 2 Pierre-YvesChibon 2016-04-02 16:24:50 UTC

And epel7 has python3 now so if we can get the dependencies built in epel7, we will be able to build aiohttp as well :)

IIRC there is 3.4, which doesn't have asyncio support.

Comment 4 Dan Callaghan 2016-12-07 00:44:18 UTC

aiohttp works on Python 3.4. The new await/async def syntax is optional.

https://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#dependencies

says: "Python 3.4.2+"

Comment 5 Nicki Křížek 2021-02-08 12:31:26 UTC

Current state as of February 2021:

- Python 3.6 is available
- aiohttp version 3.6.x can be built on CentOS7 with only slight modifications (dependency names) from EPEL8 spec
- dependencies of aiohttp would need to be packaged for EPEL7 as well

At a first glance, I don't see any blocking issue, but I didn't explore the dependency chain thoroughly.

Comment 6 Ben Beasley 2024-01-30 14:54:48 UTC

I’m not the primary maintainer here, but I’ve done the last several python-aiohttp updates in Fedora and EPEL9.

- The current version of aiohttp has dependencies that are difficult to package or update for EPEL7. Even keeping EPEL8 up to date has not been practical.
- Recent releases of aiohttp have contained significant security fixes, so packaging an older release seems unwise.
- EPEL7 reaches its end-of-life this year anyway.

Considering the above, I’m sorry that this never worked out, but I think it’s safe to say that an EPEL7 build will not happen. Anyone who disagrees may feel free to reopen the bug.
