Description Miro Hrončok 2020-05-01 08:49:31 UTC 
There is this code in brp-python-bytecompile:

  grep -E "/usr/lib(64)?/python[0-9]\.[0-9]+$"`;

That will break with Python 3.10. Possibly other places in the code will break as well.
Comment 1 Florian Festi 2020-05-01 09:34:55 UTC 
echo /usr/lib/python3.10 | grep -E "/usr/lib(64)?/python[0-9]\.[0-9]+$"
/usr/lib/python3.10

Can you elaborate a bit more?
Comment 2 Miro Hrončok 2020-05-01 22:46:04 UTC 
Oh my. I found that problem on Fedora 32, went to report it, copied the fixed regex form master here and haven't checked. This has been actually fixed in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/redhat-rpm-config/c/9ce99265fd0947564ca48e1d4e1cfed2f40711c3

Technically, thou, we might need to backport this to Fedora 32, because with the current peace, we will have Python 3.10 available before Fedora 32 goes EOL.

Backporting to Fedora 31 might or might not be needed. We have introduced Python 3.9 package to Fedora in November 2019, hence I suppose we'll have 3.10 in November 2020. That is more or less on Fedora 31 EOL date.
