Description Tomas Orsava 2016-04-01 15:23:30 UTC 
Upstream, this software supports Python 3. Please provide a Python 3
package for Fedora.


According to the Python packaging guidelines [0], software must be
packaged for Python 3 if upstream supports it.
The guidelines give detailed information on how to do this, and even
provide an example spec file [1].

The current best practice is to provide subpackages for the two Python
versions (called "Common SRPM" in the guidelines). Alternatively, if
nothing depends on your Python2 package, you can just switch to Python 3
entirely.

It's ok to do this in Rawhide only, however, it would be greatly
appreciated if you could push it to Fedora 24 as well.


If anything is unclear, or if you need any kind of assistance with the
porting, you can ask on IRC (#fedora-python on Freenode), or reply here.
We'll be happy to help!

Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2016-04-01 18:44:46 UTC 
We do not provide a python subpackage at all, the only .py file in FlightCrew 0.9.1 (the current version) is a plugin for Sigil, which is already using python3.
Comment 2 Petr Viktorin 2016-04-03 13:01:38 UTC 
Sorry for the wrong diagnosis.

The plugin's shebang, #!/usr/bin/python, causes the FlightCrew-sigil-plugin RPM to depend on Python 2. Could the shebang be changed to /usr/bin/python3?
Comment 3 Frederico Lima 2016-07-16 12:05:55 UTC 
May I make a patch for you?
Comment 4 Hans de Goede 2016-07-16 13:50:45 UTC

> May I make a patch for you?

I have this on my todo list but at a low priority, so yes a patch would definitely be welcome.

Thanks,

Hans

p.s.

I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks starting this Monday, so if it takes a while to apply the patch that is why.

Thanks

Another patch for all shebangs in the Flightcrew package changed to py3

I've created another patch.
The difference is that this new patch don't change only the plugin shebangs, but all the shebangs, from python to python3 and the envs on the package.

If its not the plan of the maintainer, use only the first patch, the patch that change only the plugin shebang.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle.
Changing version to '25'.
Comment 9 Lumír Balhar 2016-07-28 09:23:09 UTC 
This patch is simple and looks good to me. If you want to apply it during RPM building process we can help you with change in specfile but it will be simple as well.

Fixing python shebang

Hello.

I am providing patch for specfile in which I am using `sed` command to change python shebang instead of patch in separated file.

It's up to the maintainer to decide which approach is better for this package.

Koji scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=15186172

Have a nice day.
Comment 11 Hans de Goede 2016-08-12 10:39:59 UTC 
Thanks for the patches.

I've gone with the patch using the sed as that should avoid the need to rebase patches when updating to a newer upstream version.

I've started builds with this patch for F25+, closing.
