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.

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!

Hello Dwayne, Do you need any help adding Python 3 support to the RPM? If you need more instructions, a [guide] for porting Python-based RPMs is available. [guide] http://python-rpm-porting.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html

Hello, Dominiko. Your patch looks good to me but it needs to be modified because it contains changelog entry from Fedora Release Engineering.
Created attachment 1202777 [details] add Python 3 & update version Hi Lumír, thanks for the review. There is a fixed patch. :)
Now the patch looks good to me, thanks. If maintainer has nothing against, we can push this change after a week.
Any progress on this?
Fixed for rawhide, please reopen the bug if you require it for F25.
