The current mkdocs package in Fedora repos it is compiling with python3, but I can request the epel7 branch and build with python2 for epel7. Thanks for the interes.

Sorry. I can not build mkdocs in epel7 even with python 2 there is a missing dependency with python-tornado:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=9448

mkdocs requires python-tornado 4 and in epel7 there is python-tornado 3, here is a repo corp with packages builded with python 2 and the missgin python-tornado4:

http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/lkiesow/mkdocs/

You can use it with

yum install yum-plugin-copr
yum yum copr enable lkiesow/mkdocs
yum install python-mkdocs

Please note than the fedora repo ship mkdocs 14 and the corp versión is mkdocs 12, maybe i can try to build the mkdocs 12 versión in epel7

Would it be possible to move the tornado dependency to a subpackage?  IIRC, that module is only needed for the development webserver, not for generating the html.  You could then have that subpackage only enabled for Fedora, but disabled on EPEL7.  I'm not sure if the mkdocs code is modular enough to work with this idea, it's just an idea.

I will try to disable the test in the EPEL7 build so python tornado will not be needed for build, but I will need to test if mkdocs do  not fail with a traceback, if so I will need to patch and disable the build in server.

Unfortunately it appears that pkg_resources is preventing the execution of even basic mkdocs commands when tornado 4 isn't present.

This version complains about click now.

I manually edited "click>=4.0" to just "click" in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mkdocs-0.14.0-py2.7.egg-info/requires.txt, and now it works.  I can run "mkdocs new" and "mkdocs build" without issue.

Thanks for the feedback, I will drop the click requires and update the package.

Of course.  I also sent some feedback upstream that may make packaging easier for future releases.
