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!

Created attachment 1182100 [details] Patch for python-zope-processlifetime.spec Hi, This is my first patch submitted to Bugzilla. I hope everything is in order. I built and tested it on F23, also ran a mock build. I did't find any simple way to test functionality but comparing to previous version the files appeared to be in the right places for python3. Please review the patch and push it if it's ok. Thanks, Petri
Created attachment 1182319 [details] Revised patch for python-zope-processlifetime specfile Realised that I did not include python2 in the first patch. This one follows porting guide lines.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.
Looks good to me. Thanks! I made a few adjustments to your patch to use some of the modern python macros: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/python-zope-processlifetime.git/commit/?id=e004f02c11b1b8b763220e8360e873b34924a746 Thanks again!
