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!

Luis, do you need any help with adding Python 3 support?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.

The attached specfile contains also a correction related to this bug that occurs in the original spec file: $ rpmlint python-django-helpdesk.spec python-django-helpdesk.spec: E: specfile-error warning: bogus date in %changelog: Tue Oct 22 2014 Luis Bazan <lbazan> - 0.1.12-4 0 packages and 1 specfiles checked; 1 errors, 0 warnings.
Hi Jan! That's an awesome patch, good work! Koji scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=15348756 However, since the changes are not only to the spec file, but you've also added a patch and new sources, it would be highly recommended that you provide a patch that encompasses the changes to the whole git repo, not just the now contents of the spec file. If you'd be interested, I can show you how to do that.

Hi Jan, I have some comments. * Please do not add " - Python 2/3 version" to summaries, it is too long, just keep it in descriptions. * Add %doc README.rst to %files.
