Description Carl George 2019-05-13 20:59:38 UTC

Description of problem:
Installing the libselinux Python bindings via the python3-libselinux package is not recognized by Python packaging tools.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python3-libselinux-2.8-6.fc29
python3-libselinux-2.9-1.fc30
python3-libselinux-2.9-1.fc31

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install python3-libselinux
2. pip3 list | grep -i selinux

Actual results:
no output

Expected results:
selinux         2.9

Additional info:
I have a CLI tool that imports selinux in order to run a restorecon.  That works, but the tool is installed with a setuptools entry point, which uses pkg_resources to verify all the requirements are installed.  The missing metadata causes pkg_resources to abort the CLI execution.  The only way to work around it is to not list selinux in my setup.py requirements.

Comment 1 Petr Lautrbach 2019-05-31 06:18:34 UTC

^_^ rpm -q python3-libselinux                
python3-libselinux-2.9-2.fc31.x86_64

^_^ pip3 list | grep -i selinux
selinux              2.9

Thanks Petr for that fix.  Any chance it can be backported to Fedora 30?
