Description of problem: The directory /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/web/wsgiserver/ and the __init__.py inside of it are taken from the CherryPy project. We need to unbundle that file so we aren't copying it all over the place, something that makes for problems if security problems or just plain bugfixes get fixed upstream in cherrypy but the other projects don't pick up the changes (this has happened in python-paste-script, for instance). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-webpy-0.32-4.fc12.noarch Additional Info: I've documented a few ways to fix this here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Unbundling_Python_Modules Additionally, we may want to start packaging the wsgiserver directory separately from cherrypy. The CherryPy upstream does not package it standalone but he does make it easy to get the code separately on the website: http://www.cherrypy.org/wiki/CherryPyDownload#StandaloneWSGIserver
Will look into this shortly, though I'll be gone for the next week for work.
One _potential_ problem I see with this is that python-webpy's wsgiserver is based on CherryPy 3.1.2. While this version is available in Fedora, the python-cherrypy in EPEL is the 2.x series. Are you considering doing a python-cherrypy2 compat package for EPEL as you did for Fedora and moving python-cherrypy to 3.x?
Asked upstream a few questions[1] regarding to plans for the embedded version of wsgiserver and also about missing files in their 0.34 release. [1] http://groups.google.com/group/webpy/browse_frm/thread/6d6aa59a538135fc
We have a couple of choices for EPEL-5: 1) Package python-cherrypy3 (so that users of python-cherrypy in production don't get any nasty surprises with a yum update). Unfortunately, using the non-default cherrypy will mean hacking the PYTHONPATH (Usually through the use of setuptools: __requires__ = 'CherryPy >= 3' import pkg_resources pkg_resources.require('CherryPy') 2) Just fix this in Fedora and EPEL-6. Don't worry about EL-5. I'm not sure I like either of those solutions. :-/ I'll be out of town for two weeks starting on Tuesday, next week.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
this issue has already been solved (at least for fedora>=16).
