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!

Ping? No response as of yet from maintainer.
Created attachment 1181654 [details] Patch to provide Python 3 subpackage Hi. This patch updates to latest upstream version (0.1.3), provides a python 3 subpackage and modernizes the SPEC file. Maintainer could you review it?
Scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=14951184 Tested also in mock.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.
Patch looks good to me.
Rahul, do you mind if I push this? If you don't reply in a week, I assume it's OK.
