Hi, There seems to be an epel7 branch for python-aiohttp: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/python-aiohttp/ but I can't find traces of a build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=19224 Would you mind if I rebuild the rawhide version and push it to epel7? Thanks
aiohttp seems to be Py3 only.
And epel7 has python3 now so if we can get the dependencies built in epel7, we will be able to build aiohttp as well :)

aiohttp works on Python 3.4. The new await/async def syntax is optional. https://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#dependencies says: "Python 3.4.2+"
Current state as of February 2021: - Python 3.6 is available - aiohttp version 3.6.x can be built on CentOS7 with only slight modifications (dependency names) from EPEL8 spec - dependencies of aiohttp would need to be packaged for EPEL7 as well At a first glance, I don't see any blocking issue, but I didn't explore the dependency chain thoroughly.
I’m not the primary maintainer here, but I’ve done the last several python-aiohttp updates in Fedora and EPEL9. - The current version of aiohttp has dependencies that are difficult to package or update for EPEL7. Even keeping EPEL8 up to date has not been practical. - Recent releases of aiohttp have contained significant security fixes, so packaging an older release seems unwise. - EPEL7 reaches its end-of-life this year anyway. Considering the above, I’m sorry that this never worked out, but I think it’s safe to say that an EPEL7 build will not happen. Anyone who disagrees may feel free to reopen the bug.
