Realistically, you should have been depending on python-devel to build already; the fact that it previously "worked" is a side effect more than anything. I'd just move all of distutils to python-devel (or its own package) but there are occasionally valid uses of distutils at runtime which don't require python-devel to be present |
Description of problem: Some python related packages use distutils modules in setup.py like: ------------------------------------ from distutils.core import setup setup(......) ------------------------------------- With python 2.5, this no longer works without pyconfig-32.h (on i386) on install stage because with python 2.5 distutils/sysconfig.py checks the existence of pyconfig-32.h --------------------------------------- --- ./usr/lib/python2.4/distutils/sysconfig.py 2006-10-02 07:00:44.000000000 +0900 +++ /usr/lib/python2.5/distutils/sysconfig.py 2006-12-16 01:08:37.000000000 +0900 <snip> @@ -357,17 +351,28 @@ raise DistutilsPlatformError(my_msg) + # load the installed pyconfig.h: + try: + filename = get_config_h_filename() + parse_config_h(file(filename), g) + except IOError, msg: + my_msg = "invalid Python installation: unable to open %s" % filename + if hasattr(msg, "strerror"): + my_msg = my_msg + " (%s)" % msg.strerror + + raise DistutilsPlatformError(my_msg) + # On MacOSX we need to check the setting of the environment variable # MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET: configure bases some choices on it so # it needs to be compatible. # If it isn't set we set it to the configure-time value <snip> --------------------------------------- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-2.5-6.fc7 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.

I think pyconfig-32.h should be moved from -devel to main package because currently the packaging on distutils module is broken anyway.
