Description Jerry James 2018-09-13 01:49:24 UTC 
Description of problem:
I am attempting to update python-networkx to its latest upstream version, but the build fails:

ImportError: pydot 1.0.29 < 1.2.3

Indeed, version 1.2.4 is available here: https://pypi.org/project/pydot/.  If you are short on time, I can assist with the upgrade.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pydot-1.0.28-19.fc29

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to build the latest networkx release on Fedora Rawhide

Actual results:
An ImportError, shown above.

Expected results:
Successful build.

Proposed spec file

I worked out the spec file changes needed.  I am attaching the result as a suggestion.
Comment 2 Jerry James 2018-09-28 03:53:51 UTC 
It will be necessary to check the following pydot consumers to make sure the new version doesn't break them:
- dot2tex
- openerp
- python-altgraph
- python-sqlalchemy_schemadisplay
- trytond

I will try to look at that soon.  Help would be ... helpful. :-)
Comment 3 Jerry James 2018-10-04 21:18:58 UTC 
I did test builds of the packages named in comment 2 with pydot 1.2.4.  The results are:
- dot2tex: hasn't needed pydot since version 2.8.0.  The (Build)Requires is wrong and should be removed (bug 1636260).
- openerp: FTBFS and is quite old (bug 1605318), can probably be ignored.
- python-altgraph: does not use pydot at all.  The Requires is wrong and should be removed (bug 1636263).
- python-sqlalchemy_schemadisplay: seems to work okay with the new pydot
- trytond: seems to work okay with the new pydot

Can we proceed with updating pydot in Rawhide?  Thank you.
Comment 4 Tom "spot" Callaway 2018-10-05 12:22:11 UTC 
pydot-1.2.4-2.fc30 in rawhide. Please note that it is python3 only.
Comment 5 Jerry James 2018-10-05 17:24:01 UTC 
Thank you!  Python 3 only is fine, as I am throwing out pretty much all of my python 2 subpackages in the very near future.
