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 ok to do this in Rawhide only, however, it would be greatly appreciated if you could push it to Fedora 24 as well. 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 Brian, 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
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.
Created attachment 1280415 [details] Update to 0.8 version including Python 3 subpackage * The update is very conservative to avoid older RHEL impact, i.e. there are not used modern macros (%py2_build, %py3_build, %py2_install, %py3_install). * There are commented nosetests in %check section as they fail by "error: invalid command 'nosetests'".
Hello Brian, please could you review the attached updated spec file? Thank you. Best regards Jan
Created attachment 1321694 [details] Update to 0.8 version including Python 3 subpackage A newer version to reflect the actual spec file. Testing is conditional and temporarily switched-off.
I think it is time to start non-responsive package maintainer process.
(In reply to Igor Gnatenko from comment #6) > I think it is time to start non-responsive package maintainer process. Indeed. Needinfo with no reply between June and September does not look good.
Pushed
Rawhide done. Closing. Reopen if older Fedoras are needed.
