Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

This bug is related to bz#1892797 - in short if we want to backport the same %py[3]_shebang_fix macro we have in Fedora to RHEL, we need to add support for -k and -a options to the pathfix.py script (shipped in platform-python-devel) in the main Python 3.

Upstream commit: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/c71c54c62600fd721baed3c96709e3d6e9c33817

The upstream commit also contains tests and we also have to implement some testing for the new macro so this additional backport should not mean much of additional work for QE.

PR: https://src.osci.redhat.com/rpms/python3/pull-request/66

New functionality tested together with new RPM macros in COPR: https://copr.devel.redhat.com/coprs/lbalhar/rpm-macros/builds/
Related PR for RPM macros: https://src.osci.redhat.com/rpms/python-rpm-macros/pull-request/9#

The backport also contains tests so the script itself is tested during the build of RPM. We'll also need to find a way how to test the new macros so I'm not sure whether we need to invent new tests here.
