Description Fabian Affolter 2010-07-03 09:33:55 UTC 
Spec URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/python-importlib.spec
SRPM URL: http://fab.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/python-importlib-1.0.2-1.fc13.src.rpm

Project URL: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/importlib

Description:
This package contains the code from importlib as found in Python 2.7.
It is provided so that people who wish to use
importlib.import_module() with a version of Python prior to 2.7 or in
3.0 have the function readily available. The code in no way deviates
from what can be found in the 2.7 trunk.

Comment 1 Thomas Spura 2010-07-05 13:45:12 UTC 
Don't you need at least a Conflicts with python(abi) = 2.7?

In python-celery you currently commented out the requires on this package, this could be resolved by e.g.:

%{!?pyver: %global pyver %(%{__python} -c "import sys ; print sys.version[:3]")}
%if pyver < 2.7
Requires:  python-importlib
%endif

This way, when rebuilding all packages with python2.7 (or above) this will be cone automatic.

Furthermore, when using a conflicts on python2.7, this package won't being build in >= 2.7 and everyone will notice, that this can be a dead.package.


Do you (=Fabian) have another resolution for this, or David, what's your preference?


(Anything else looks fine at the first sign.)

No, at the moment I have no time to work on this package.
