python-basemap also appears to be outdated, fedora ships 0.99.4
released in 2009-08-06, while latest version is 1.0.5 released
in 2012-08-06

  Current python-basemap does not build cleanly in fedora rawhide,
build ends with:

ERROR   0001: file '/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/_geoslib.so' contains a standard rpath '/usr/lib' in [/usr/lib]

  There is also no %check section, a quick test shows several
issues with something like:

$ python -m doctest lib/dap/xdr.py

in the build directory.

  I found the problem because sagemath, apparently due to the
way I make symbolic links to make it work with system packages,
thought it should test:

$ realpath /usr/share/sagemath/devel/sage/dap/xdr.py
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dap/xdr.py

First error is:
File "/usr/share/sagemath/devel/sage/dap/xdr.py", iled example:
    xdrdata = DapPacker(dapvar)
Exception raised:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/share/sagemath/local/bin/ncadoctest.py", line 1231, in run_one_test
        self.run_one_example(test, example, filename, compileflags)
      File "/usr/share/sagemath/local/bin/sagedoctest.py", line 38, in run_one_example

        xdrdata = DapPacker(dapvar)
    NameError: name 'DapPacker' is not defined

That could be "hacked" with a pseudo patch like:
--- /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dap/xdr.py
+++ /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/dap/xdr.py
@@ -46,1 +46,2 @@
        >>> from dap.dtypes import *
+       >>> from dap.xdr import *

but that should be a feature of how sagemath makes doctests, as it
works with plain python -m doctest when testing xdr.py, but I cannot
find the SimpleHandler, as in the first failure with:

$ python -m doctest lib/dap/xdr.py
