Upstream, this software supports Python 3. Please provide a Python 3 package for Fedora. According to the Python packaging guidelines [0], software must be packaged for Python 3 if upstream supports it. The guidelines give detailed information on how to do this, and even provide an example spec file [1]. The current best practice is to provide subpackages for the two Python versions (called "Common SRPM" in the guidelines). Alternatively, if nothing depends on your Python2 package, you can just switch to Python 3 entirely. It's ok to do this in Rawhide only, however, it would be greatly appreciated if you could push it to Fedora 24 as well. If anything is unclear, or if you need any kind of assistance with the porting, you can ask on IRC (#fedora-python on Freenode), or reply here. We'll be happy to help!

I'll work on this ASAP. When I packaged python-glue for Fedora it didn't support Python 3 but I see that has changed recently. Not really important but I guess this would have better go in a separate bug. This one is about version 0.11.0 and last version in Fedora 23 is 0.11.1
Hi, thank you for your commitment! It is our policy to add this port-to-python-3-request to an existing new-version-available bug, since when porting your spec file you should always first update to the newest upstream version. While true this bug report itself is a bit outdated, you can close it by updating your package to the newest version nonetheless.
This is taking longer than I expected because the upstream support for Python 3 is based on the 2to3 tool and I'm working on patches for upstream to drop this requirement which makes packaging harder.
That's great to hear, clean Python 3 support is much better than 2to3. Thank you for the initiative!
Here is a link to the upstream pull request: https://github.com/jorgebastida/glue/pull/208
Good job, fingers crossed!
Tomas, according to the guidelines: "If the executables provide the same functionality independent of whether they are run on top of Python 2 or Python 3, then only the Python 3 version of the executable should be packaged. Transitioning from python2 to python3 is left to individual package maintainers except for packages in Fedora's critical path. For these, we want to port to python3 versions in the same Fedora release if possible. " which means I should only provide the python 3 package. Also, from the same document: "The python3 subpackage must provide python3-example. However, as the naming guidelines mandate that the python3 subpackage be named python3-example, this will happen automatically. " which means the package name will change from python-glue to python3-glue. Does this mean users who have already installed python-glue will not get automatically updated to python3-glue since the names are different?
If you change the name, you should do Provides, Obsoletes, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrade_paths_%E2%80%94_renaming_or_splitting_packages
Hi! The naming conventions of prefixing the package name by "python?-" only apply to Python modules [0]. Since your package is not a Python module (it's not being imported in third-party Python code) but a standard application/tool that only happens to be written in Python, it should actually be called just `glue`. Therefore I suggest you create a single subpackage inside the spec file with the name `glue`. Technically, the package should be renamed, but that is a long and arduous process and we can get around it by the subpackage. And to the subpackage `glue` you add the Provides and Obsoletes tags so that dnf knows that this subpackage is the successor of the `python-glue` package and automatically updates everybody to it so that the end users will not even notice anything has changed.

Thanks for the help Miro and Tomas. I'll do as Tomas suggested.
Can you review my latest changes at http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/python-glue.git/diff/python-glue.spec?id=699fc5f5e5f42b2174be87a0f1134566c5211df5 before I do a Rawhide build?
Looks good. I've kicked a scratch build to see what comes out http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=14168250
One big problem. Now we have both glue and python-glue generated. We don't want that, so the %files section (the one without -n) should be removed.
OK, I removed the naked %files section and did a fedpkg build so it should go to Rawhide soon. Do you think this change is safe enough to be push to the f24 branch and to bodhi?
Here is the Koji build http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=14181582
Yes, it should be perfectly safe. The Provides and Obsoletes tags will assure that users won't notice a thing. I generally push it to F23 and F22 as well. Thank you for your work!
I would recommend to try it on both F24 and F23 while in testing. 1. Install python-glue form stable 2. Test how it behaves 3. Enable updates-testing and do dnf update 4. Check if glue was updated and if it works the same That way, we can be sure na push it to stable.
