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!

Created attachment 1164434 [details] Patch to provide Python 3 tests subpackage
Hi Charalampos! The patch looks good! Please make sure that the new RPM installs correctly and can be used/imported. Thanks!
Hi Lukas, as this is a bit of a time sensitive issue, we would really appreciate if you could take a look at the patch as soon as possible. If you are time constrained right now, I hope you won't mind if we do the review and push the changes ourselves in case you are unable. Thank you!
Scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=14421135 Also tested in mock and works as expected.
