Description Iryna Shcherbina 2018-02-26 10:15:23 UTC
Upstream, this software supports Python 3 starting version 0.8.0b3 [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 28 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!

To switch to Python 3, wxGlade will need to switch to wxPython 4, but that is available now as well:

Do you want co-maintain this package ? 
I didn't have much time lately and also I'm away of development of wx.
In fact I just pick up this package because was about to be retired ...

Sure, give me ACLs.
