Description of problem:
$ python3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/sysconfig.py", line 314, in _init_posix
    parse_config_h(open(config_h), vars)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/include/python3.2/pyconfig.h'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/site.py", line 559, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/site.py", line 541, in main
    known_paths = addusersitepackages(known_paths)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/site.py", line 261, in addusersitepackages
    user_site = getusersitepackages()
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/site.py", line 236, in getusersitepackages
    user_base = getuserbase() # this will also set USER_BASE
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/site.py", line 226, in getuserbase
    USER_BASE = get_config_var('userbase')
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/sysconfig.py", line 553, in get_config_var
    return get_config_vars().get(name)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/sysconfig.py", line 454, in get_config_vars
    _init_posix(_CONFIG_VARS)
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/sysconfig.py", line 319, in _init_posix
    raise IOError(msg)
IOError: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/include/python3.2/pyconfig.h (No such file or directory)

After installing python3-devel, this issue was fixed.
then python3 package doesn't require python3-devel package.

The python2 package has this:

%files
[...]
# "Makefile" and the config-32/64.h file are needed by
# distutils/sysconfig.py:_init_posix(), so we include them in the libs
# package, along with their parent directories (bug 531901):
%dir %{pylibdir}/config
%{pylibdir}/config/Makefile
%dir %{_includedir}/python%{pybasever}
%{_includedir}/python%{pybasever}/%{_pyconfig_h}

Probably need to apply something similar to the python3 package.

> Probably need to apply something similar to the python3 package.

The python3.src.rpm does have this already.

What is the output of running the following command:
   rpm -qa "python3*" | sort

Interestingly, the error report refers to "/usr/include/python3.2/pyconfig.h" rather than pyconfig-64.h, so I think we're seeing something akin to this from the python.spec file:
> * Thu Jul 22 2010 David Malcolm <dmalcolm> - 2.7-4
> - fix reference to pyconfig.h in sysconfig that led to failure on startup if
> python-devel was not installed

Comment 3 Dave Malcolm 2010-11-17 20:06:48 UTC
Fix (I hope) committed and pushed to git:

Building python3-3.2-0.5.a1.fc15 for dist-rawhide
Task info: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2607156

Comment 4 Dave Malcolm 2010-11-17 20:40:11 UTC
I believe this is now fixed (in python3-3.2-0.5.a1.fc15).
