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 fine to do this in Rawhide only. 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 Ralph, 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
Thanks Dominika, I'm trying to get to them as I have time (there are a lot!)

Created attachment 1183064 [details] Patch for python 3 Corrected %changelog entries
Hello Petri. I've found some bugs in your patch: - There are missing build requires for Py3: -- python3-setuptools -- python3-zope-interface -- python3-zope-schema - Same for Requires in Py3 subpackage: -- python3-zope-interface -- python3-zope-schema - You can use %py2_build and %py3_build in %build section and %py2_install and %py3_install in %install section (just suggestion) - It's better to use %license macro for license files in %files sections instead %doc Also if it is possible for you, then please provide link to Koji scratch build of package with patched specfile. Thank you and have a nice day.
