Description Dominika Krejčí 2016-03-30 15:13:29 UTC

Upstream, this software supports Python 3. Please provide a Python 3
package for Fedora.


According to the Python packaging guidelines [0], software must be
packaged for Python 3 if upstream supports it.
The guidelines give detailed information on how to do this, and even
provide an example spec file [1].

The current best practice is to provide subpackages for the two Python
versions (called "Common SRPM" in the guidelines). Alternatively, if
nothing depends on your Python2 package, you can just switch to Python 3
entirely.

It's ok to do this in Rawhide only, however, it would be greatly
appreciated if you could push it to Fedora 24 as well.


If anything is unclear, or if you need any kind of assistance with the
porting, you can ask on IRC (#fedora-python on Freenode), or reply here.
We'll be happy to help!

I'm afraid that isn't the case - wxPython (Classic) doesn't support Python 3 and probably never will.

wxPython Phoenix does support Python 3, but it is still somewhat under development.  I am working on trying to package it separately though.

So this: http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/ItsAlive/ is misleading?

It's not misleading.  That's Phoenix, and like I said, it's still not formally released.  It needs to be packaged separately because it's not API compatible with wxPython Classic and it may not yet support 100% of wxPython Classic's features.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1310434 is my placeholder review request.

Comment 4 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2016-04-22 01:25:06 UTC

Removing the #1285816 from blocked list since this package is not mispackaged, it's a matter of waiting for upstream wxPython Phoenix to be mature enough to package (separately).

Comment 5 Jan Kurik 2016-07-26 05:06:18 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle.
Changing version to '25'.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 19:49:18 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Jan Beran 2018-02-07 15:16:18 UTC

Hi Scott, 

wxPython 4.0.1 has been recently released [1]. Please, would be this version appropriate to update the package in Fedora, and include also Python 3 subpackage?

[1] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wxPython/4.0.1

Comment 8 Scott Talbert 2018-02-07 15:19:10 UTC

Yes, I am working on the spec, will submit for review in the next day or two.

Comment 9 Scott Talbert 2018-02-10 17:26:34 UTC

FYI - the review request is ready for wxPython 4 / Phoenix (see linked bug).  If anyone has the time/interest to review it, feel free!

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2018-02-20 15:35:25 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle.
Changing version to '28'.
