For the build logs, see:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.15/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/10319098-python-glyphsLib/

For all our attempts to build python-glyphsLib with Python 3.15, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.15/package/python-glyphsLib/

Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr.
You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.15:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.15/

Let us know here if you have any questions.

Python 3.15 is planned to be included in Fedora 45.
To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with all pre-releases of Python 3.15.
A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires),
so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon.

We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best,
but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.

This regression was associated with a ufo2ft patch-release update, and had been present in F44 and Rawhide for a month or so. I fixed it in https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-4e292f7cf0 shortly before this bug was filed.

Thank you :)
