Description Miro Hrončok 2016-05-31 19:29:59 UTC
The Python 3 version of pep8 installs executable named python3-pep8. Typing this is bad UX, at least for me, because I think of pep8 and try pep8[tab][tab], and after that I remember I need to do python3-pep[tab][tab]

Please provide the following executable files/symlinks:

python(2)-pep8 subpackage:
 /usr/bin/pep8-2.7
 /usr/bin/pep8-2 -> ./pep8-2.7
 /usr/bin/pep8 -> ./pep8-2

python3-pep8 subpackage:
 /usr/bin/pep8-3.5 (or 3.4)
 /usr/bin/pep8-3 -> ./pep8-3.5
 /usr/bin/python3-pep8 -> ./pep8-3 (for backward compatibility in F24 and older)

For more information, plese see [1] and [2]. Note that the python3-foo executable name was preferred at some point in the guidelines, but it's no longer so.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-25 09:10:44 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2016-11-25 11:48:54 UTC
Still valid.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 09:58:49 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.

Comment 4 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2017-07-24 00:05:39 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:53:18 UTC
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 7 Miro Hrončok 2018-05-29 12:18:39 UTC
$ rpm -ql python3-pep8 | grep bin
