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 you need more instructions, a guide for porting Python-based RPMs is available at [2]. 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!

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.
Upstream is not fully ported to Python 3 as you can see in [1]: apparently there was a branch which was not merged with changes to support python 3 [2]. I only realized this after I prepared a python 3 subpackage for it and tried to manually test the new package, since I believe upstream does not provide a test suite File "/usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mailer.py", line 36, in <module> import Queue ImportError: No module named 'Queue' [1] https://bitbucket.org/ginstrom/mailer/commits/branch/default [2] https://bitbucket.org/ginstrom/mailer/commits/76bfcbedd03ae06db434958dea204ce8e2829ce5?at=default
Hi Athos! I wasn't aware that upstream is not fully ported yet, so I apologise for opening this bug! Hopefully it gets resolved upstream soon.
