Description: 
Dill extends python's 'pickle' module for serializing and de-serializing 
python objects to the majority of the built-in python types. 
Dill provides the user the same interface as the 'pickle' module, and also 
includes some additional features. In addition to pickling python objects, dill
provides the ability to save the state of an interpreter session in a single 
command.

Comment 1 Jerry James 2014-09-11 14:45:32 UTC
I will take this review.

Comment 2 Jerry James 2014-09-11 16:35:15 UTC
I only see a few issues with this package, none a MUST.

1. Please use the new %license tag; i.e., change this:

   %doc LICENSE README

   to this:

   %license LICENSE
   %doc README

2. Consider adding a %check section.  It could look like this:

%check
export PYTHONPATH=%{buildroot}%{python2_sitelib}
for test in tests/test_*
do
  %{__python2} $test
done

%if 0%{?with_python3}
pushd %{py3dir}
PYTHONPATH=%{buildroot}%{python3_sitelib}
for test in tests/test_*
do
  %{__python3} $test
done
popd
%endif # with_python3

   This will also require some new BRs, namely numpy and python3-numpy.  In
   fact, doing that shows that there are several types, differing between
   python 2 and python 3, that are not pickled correctly.  Unfortunately, the
   %check step succeeds in spite of the pickling errors.

3. Finally, what is the rationale for not packaging the tools in %{_bindir}?
   If there are any conceivable users of the tools, perhaps they could be
   packaged in a -tools subpackage.  If they are definitely not useful for the
   general public, then what you have already done is fine, of course.

Done!

Done! I tried running the tests with nosetest, py.test and unittest. I didn't realize I just had to run python. When I have time I will contact upstream and ask about the tests.

The purpose of the scripts seems to be debugging. 
unpickle.py just prints the output of dill.load run over the the files in the tool command line.
get_objgraph.py plots a graph of dill types using objgraph; but objgraph is not in Fedora. Furthermore, I don't know if this tool is useful for normal users.
That's why I have excluded them.
