This is required for the official reference letsencrypt client in EL6. Waiting for branch to be created by Fedora.

to speed up the process, I think we should put an updated srpm thats builds en epel6 , I will have time during holydays, if you're more fast than me, please do it.

Ping. What is the state for this one?

Comment 4 Robert Buchholz 2016-02-11 18:54:52 UTC

Upstream claims the package is only compatible with Python 2.7 or later. It seems the source is 2.6 compatible (syntax), but tests fail due to 2.6's unittest missing SkipTest.

The tests are only skipped because PyICU is missing though. Unfortunately, the PyICU version in EL6 is not new enough for these tests.

By the way, when adding PyICU to parsedatetime's rawhide spec as a build dependency, several test start failing as well.

There is python-unittest2 which works for Python 2.6 and it is API compatible with 2.7.

Should we close this one out or is anyone still working on this?

Comment 7 Michele Baldessari 2019-06-23 15:05:20 UTC

Since none seems to be working on this I am going ahead and closing this for the time being.
