Description Iryna Shcherbina 2016-12-14 09:36:58 UTC

Upstream, this software supports Python 3 [0]. Please provide a Python 3
package for Fedora.


According to the Python packaging guidelines [1], 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 [2].

Since users aren't expected to import this tool from Python code,
you can just switch to /usr/bin/python3. Alternatively, if you want or
need to keep a Python 2 version, the current best practice is to provide
subpackages -- this is called "Common SRPM" in the guidelines.

It's OK to do this in Rawhide only, however, it would be greatly
appreciated if you could push it to Fedora 25 as well.


If you need more instructions, a guide for porting Python-based RPMs is
available at [3].
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 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2016-12-14 15:22:47 UTC

Thanks for the bug report. Looking into it.

Switch to python 3

mpDris2 is fully compatible with python3 (don't forget to change shebang). But python3-mpd is not. mpDris 2 can use python-mpd2 instead (see #1368911) which is python 3 compatible.

Playing, pausing, prev/next seem to work.

Comment 3 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2016-12-21 09:35:48 UTC

Thanks for the patch. Applying it now.

If we're going to switch to py3 and depend on python-mpd2, though, we're going to have to wait until the package is reviewed and accepted in Fedora. Otherwise mpdris ceases to function. :/

Comment 4 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2016-12-22 02:53:42 UTC

Everything is ready here:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/mpdris2.git/log/?h=python-mpd2

But I won't merge it to master until python-mpd2 is in Fedora :)

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 10:47:06 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.

Comment 6 "FeRD" (Frank Dana) 2017-07-05 02:58:03 UTC

As I mentioned in bug 1368911, comment 5 this is no longer merely a nice-to-have, because (at least for me) mpDris2 is not functional using python-mpd in current python releases under Fedora 25. It breaks inside the mpd module code.

Running /usr/bin/mpDris2 from mpdris2-0.7-2.20160422gita3af302.fc25.noarch under python3, with python3-mpd2 installed (from a locally-built package), functions perfectly with no changes. So, if there's any way to accelerate the acceptance of python-mpd2 into the repo, and then get mpDris2 updated to use python3, it would really be a help.

Comment 7 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2017-10-28 16:37:39 UTC

Here's an F27 scratch build with python-mpd2 if anyone wants to test it out. Seems to work OK here :)

Comment 9 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2017-11-01 11:56:17 UTC

here's a build for rawhide, now that python-mpd2 is available there:

Testers welcome. I'll push updates to stable releases in a bit too.

Cheers!
