Could you give me a patch(s) of what you are looking for?

Created attachment 993042 [details]
Use python 3 explicitly in nfs-utils scripts

Something like this should do the trick.

From our IRC conversation you are suggesting this change does not 
need to go upstream? I'm not sure diverting from upstream is
a good idea...

I don't think it needs to go there. There are still distros that don't ship Python 3 and upstream may want to stay compatible with them out of the box. Having Python 3 as default is Fedora's downstream change, so IMO this is ok to keep downstream.

Steve, can this be built today, please? I really need to have this finished by tomorrow because of change freeze deadline. I uploaded a srpm with the patch to my fedorapeople space [1], you can just "fedpkg import" it and build on rawhide and F22. Thanks.

Ok, so it seems that we'll have to revert after all for F22 [1]. Please only build this for F23 (so this doesn't need to be built today). Thanks.

This being the case I will not make this change until f22 is released
because I like to git cherry-pick between rawhide and the pre-released
branch (in this case f22)

Ok, that's fine by me. Thanks!

Hi Steve,

please switch the shebang of mountstats to /usr/bin/python3. Our system wide change was accepted by FESCO for Fedora23.

Created attachment 1051456 [details]
Patch for specfile to replace all shebangs to Python 3

This is a patch for nfs-utils.spec that changes all the shebangs to /usr/bin/python3. I've also made a scratch build here:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=10340142

Would you mind if I push this to dist git?

Shouldn't this go through upstream first or is
a fedora only thing (which I hope is not the case)?

Upstream now supports both Python 2 and Python 3. It's downstream's choice what version to use and unfortunately, the shebang line has to be set manually.

Steve? Alpha freeze is on Tuesday, I'd prefer not to do this the last day possible.

OK, since the alpha freeze is coming and I haven't hear a reply, I've built it.

The rawhide build failed, probably because of new rpm, open a bz1246911.
