python-falcon RPM is missing in EPEL-8 and EPEL-9. EPEL-7 contains python2-falcon and python36-falcon RPM, but EPEL-8 and EPEL 9 don't. Considering python-2 EOL, EPEL-8 and EPEL-9 should contain python3-falcon RPM.
I'm not opposed to this, but there are quite a few missing dependencies that need to be built first. For EPEL 8, we should target version 3.0.1, because version 3.1.0 deprecates Python 3.6 support. Based on the F36 spec file, these build requirements are missing. python3-aiofiles python3-cbor2 python3-mujson python3-uvicorn python3-websockets Upstream was originally planning version 4.0.0 for Python 3.11 compatibility. Branches f36 through rawhide are on a snapshot of the upstream master branch for that. However, it looks like upstream changed their mind, delayed 4.0.0, and released 3.1.0 with Python 3.11 compatibility. I'll probably update f36, f37, f38, and rawhide to version 3.1.1 with an epoch, and then try to build that version for epel9 as well. It's missing all the same things as epel8, except it has python3-websockets already. As I'm updating the spec file to 3.1.1 I'll ensure all the build requirements are still accurate, and see if any of them can be disabled.
Slight correction, falcon 3.1.1 is the first release with Python 3.11 compatibility. https://github.com/falconry/falcon/releases/tag/3.1.1
I'm cloning this bug to separate the EPEL 8 and EPEL 9 work.
It looks like version 3.1.0 deprecating Python 3.6 support was just a warning, not a removal. Version 3.1.1 still has the minimum Python version set at 3.5. https://github.com/falconry/falcon/blob/3.1.1/setup.cfg#L56 Based on this I can probably target falcon 3.1.1 for EPEL 8.
