Description Adam Williamson 2016-02-17 01:53:06 UTC

I may be missing something, but why does python3-funcsigs exist at all for Fedora?

funcsigs is described thus:

"funcsigs is a backport of the PEP 362 function signature features from Python 3.3’s inspect module."

All supported Fedora releases have at least Python 3.3, so what is the point of building python3-funcsigs? Surely only python2-funcsigs should be produced?

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle.
Changing version to '24'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

@Adam: sorry for the late notice, the only point for python3 package is for python2/3 portability reasons. The new signature API is available under the funcsigs module, and not inspect in python2. So it serves to avoid try/catch ImportError logic to import the module.
