Description Iryna Shcherbina 2017-05-09 10:57:46 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].

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 [2].
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 Dan Callaghan 2017-05-09 21:46:34 UTC 
Hmmm. Well we are upstream :-) and I am not sure if we fully support Python 3 yet. We might have put that classifier into setup.py a bit prematurely. Our tests are not covering Python 3 at all right now. And our target deployment platform for waiverdb in Fedora infra is (for now) Python 2 on EPEL7.

Also waiverdb is an application, not a Python library, so I don't think there is any reason to ship both Python 2 and Python 3 versions at the same time. What we probably want to do is built it against Python 2 in EPEL7 and against Python 3 in Fedora -- after we ensure we are testing both of those configurations in our CI.
Comment 2 Iryna Shcherbina 2017-05-10 09:00:07 UTC 
Thanks for your response, Dan. I must have got a wrong understanding that Python 3 is supported from the first look at the repository. You may close the issue, or keep it open until Python 3 is fully supported.
Comment 3 Dan Callaghan 2017-05-10 22:58:06 UTC 
Oh yeah I thought we must have put in the "Programming Language :: Python :: 3" classifier, which I guess is the usual way of signifying proper Python 3 support. But it looks like we have *no* Trove classifiers declared at all. :-)

I will leave this open as an RFE because we certainly do want first-class Python 3 support, and waiverdb is a small and new project so it will be easy to achieve. We just need to make sure it's regularly tested.
Comment 4 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2018-01-13 21:12:53 UTC 
Any chance to move this forward? This is likely to be widely installed now because of https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1810.
Comment 5 Dan Callaghan 2018-03-02 00:40:39 UTC 
FYI upstream issue is: https://pagure.io/waiverdb/issue/91

I am planning to try and switch to Python 3 for Fedora while keeping Python 2 compatibility for EPEL7.
