Description Tomas Orsava 2016-04-01 12:38:33 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!

Hello Major,

Do you need any help adding Python 3 support to the RPM?

If you need more instructions, a [guide] for porting Python-based RPMs is available.

Comment 2 Major Hayden 🤠 2016-04-22 13:27:22 UTC

This is on my list of things to do!  I haven't had time to work on it yet! :)

If you have any suggestions in the meantime, please let me know.

Comment 6 Tomas Orsava 2016-05-05 17:40:32 UTC

Hi Major! Thank you for taking the time!

However, there is an issue with the python2-xhtml2pdf subpackage. If you do `rpm -qp --requires` on the resulting RPM you'll find out that this Python 2 subpackage also depends on /usr/bin/python3 for some reason.

In most cases this is simply a wrong shebang on top of one of the files. If you'd like more information, there's a section of the Porting Guide [0] about dealing with shebangs, though it's dealing with the reverse problem—Python 2 dependency in a Python 3 subpackage.

Have a great day!

Comment 7 Major Hayden 🤠 2016-05-05 18:18:55 UTC

Thanks for letting me know. I'm looking at the package now.

Comment 8 Major Hayden 🤠 2016-05-05 19:05:19 UTC

Tomas -- I think I have it fixed now, but the dependency, python-PyPDF2, doesn't have Python 3 support packaged.  Luckily, that's one I maintain, so I'll get started on it. ;)

Comment 9 Tomas Orsava 2016-05-06 15:06:45 UTC

That would be most splendid, thank you and good hunting!

Comment 10 Fedora Update System 2016-05-12 01:31:42 UTC

python-xhtml2pdf-0.1a2-1.fc24 has been pushed to the Fedora 24 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
