Description Dominik Mierzejewski 2025-07-23 11:59:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
python3.12-hatchling is required to build python3.12-colorama, which is a dependency of a package I'm trying to get into Fedora. It has to be build against python3.12, because of a dependency on a new version of setuptools, available with python3.12 in EPEL9.
Comment 1 Ben Beasley 2025-07-23 12:50:14 UTC 
I’m waiting for feedback about the “proper” way to do this in the Fedora EPEL room on Matrix. There aren’t many packages built for alternative Python stacks. I think it might look something like https://music.fedorapeople.org/python3.12-hatchling-epel.spec.

I don’t especially *like* dealing with a proliferation of source packages that are specific to particular Python versions on particular EPELs, but I don’t see a reason to refuse this request as long as the dependencies can be satisfied. It would require Python 3.12 versions of python-packaging, python-pathspec, and python-trove-classifiers as dependencies, so you would have to request those as well.
Comment 2 Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2025-08-27 12:15:11 UTC 
See python3.12-setuptools_scm, for example (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python3.12-setuptools_scm/blob/epel9/f/python3.12-setuptools_scm.spec). I'll see what I can do to get the other dependencies built.
Comment 3 Ben Beasley 2025-10-23 11:38:00 UTC 
Assigning this to you for now; you can assign it back to me once the dependencies are ready.
