Pypar provides bindings to a subset of the message passing interface standard MPI. rpmlint output: pypar.x86_64: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/share/pypar-2.1.0_53/demos/mandelbrot_example/mandelplot_ext.c pypar.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/share/pypar-2.1.0_53/demos/demo3.py 0644 pypar.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/pypar/test_init.py 0644 pypar.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/pypar/network_timing.py 0644 pypar.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/share/pypar-2.1.0_53/demos/demo.py 0644 pypar.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/share/pypar-2.1.0_53/demos/demo4.py 0644 pypar.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/pypar/test_pypar.py 0644 pypar.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/share/pypar-2.1.0_53/demos/mandelbrot_example/mandel_sequential.py 0644 pypar.x86_64: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/share/pypar-2.1.0_53/demos/mandelbrot_example/mandel_ext.c pypar.x86_64: E: non-executable-script /usr/share/pypar-2.1.0_53/demos/demo2.py 0644 2 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 8 errors, 2 warnings. Contacted upstream to fix the non-executable-script errors. devel-file-in-non-devel-package warnings should not cause any concern, since they are demo files for using the package.
Merged patches with upstream.

The warnings are expected, since examples contain source code.
Using %{__python} instead of python is unnecessary and bad style, IMO.
(In reply to comment #2) > Using %{__python} instead of python is unnecessary and bad style, IMO. Well, that's the way it's in the guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Python
So it is. Weird.
Would it make more sense to package those examples as documentation? Or will this package somehow compile them. If it will, shouldn't it have some sort of dependency on a compiler? I guess the point is that if you want to package the example up so that it works (instead of just sticking it in a documentation directory), you should actually make sure that it's functional. According to the README, it also wants eog to be present.

According to > the README, it also wants eog to be present. The examples (and everything else too) works just with the package itself, the Python library accesses the MPI library. Hmm, the eog dependency seems to be only in the mandelbrot example. I wouldn't add eog as a dependency since everything else works without it. Same thing goes for gcc: it's only needed if your software tries to integrate C modules in the parallel Python program. I can put the examples into %doc but that'll cause a bunch of rpmlint warnings since the distinction between executables and libraries is blurry in Python (unexecutable script warnings / missing shebangs / etc). Maybe it's the best choice since it's true that the files in datadir should work straight away.
Okay, fixed everything. rpmlint output is clean. http://theory.physics.helsinki.fi/~jzlehtol/rpms/pypar.spec http://theory.physics.helsinki.fi/~jzlehtol/rpms/pypar-2.1.0_66-2.fc10.src.rpm (I didn't add eog as a requirement since it's only a requirement for the one example.)
