Description Lumír Balhar 2021-01-19 07:22:07 UTC

This bug is related to bz#1892797 - in short if we want to backport the same %py[3]_shebang_fix macro we have in Fedora to RHEL, we need to add support for -k and -a options to the pathfix.py script (shipped in platform-python-devel) in the main Python 3.

Upstream commit: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/c71c54c62600fd721baed3c96709e3d6e9c33817

The upstream commit also contains tests and we also have to implement some testing for the new macro so this additional backport should not mean much of additional work for QE.

PR: https://src.osci.redhat.com/rpms/python3/pull-request/66

New functionality tested together with new RPM macros in COPR: https://copr.devel.redhat.com/coprs/lbalhar/rpm-macros/builds/
Related PR for RPM macros: https://src.osci.redhat.com/rpms/python-rpm-macros/pull-request/9#

The backport also contains tests so the script itself is tested during the build of RPM. We'll also need to find a way how to test the new macros so I'm not sure whether we need to invent new tests here.
