This is needed for dnf, bumping severity and ccing packaging-team-maint@redhat

m4/ax_python_devel.m4 has:

	#
	# Check if you have distutils, else fail
	#
	AC_MSG_CHECKING([for the distutils Python package])
	ac_distutils_result=`$PYTHON -c "import distutils" 2>&1`
	if test $? -eq 0; then
		AC_MSG_RESULT([yes])
	else
		AC_MSG_RESULT([no])
		AC_MSG_ERROR([cannot import Python module "distutils".
Please check your Python installation. The error was:
$ac_distutils_result])
		PYTHON_VERSION=""
	fi

I read that as "if the command exited with 0, it's all good" -- and the command exits with 0 even in Python 3.10.

However, configure has:

	#
	# Check if you have distutils, else fail
	#
	{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking for the distutils Python package" >&5
$as_echo_n "checking for the distutils Python package... " >&6; }
	ac_distutils_result=`$PYTHON -c "import distutils" 2>&1`
	if test -z "$ac_distutils_result"; then
		{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: yes" >&5
$as_echo "yes" >&6; }
	else
		{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: no" >&5
$as_echo "no" >&6; }
		as_fn_error $? "cannot import Python module \"distutils\".
Please check your Python installation. The error was:
$ac_distutils_result" "$LINENO" 5
		PYTHON_VERSION=""
	fi

Which I read as "if the command had empty (stdout+stderr), it's all good"  -- an the command does have the warning on stdout, so it is not OK.

My autotools/m4 skills are pretty much non-existent. I have no idea why the first logic (that seems correct) gets translated to the second (broken) logic.

OK, when I run ./autogen.sh, configure is fixed. However, the spec file has:

# People neeed to learn that you can't run autogen.sh anymore
#./autogen.sh

The commit says:

    Do not run autogen.sh
    
    Otherwise, VERSION is set to 1.13.1-unknown which breaks in multiple
    places.

How do we fix this?

This has been fixed upstream autotools by Igor in m4/ax_python_devel.m4: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf-archive.git;a=commit;h=883a2abd5a

OK, I've run autogen.sh locally and cherry-picked the changes we need:

This is a mass-posted update. Sorry if it is not 100% accurate to this bugzilla.


The Python 3.10 rebuild is in progress in a Koji side tag. If you manage to fix the problem, please commit the fix in the rawhide branch, but don't build the package in regular rawhide.

You can either build the package in the side tag, with:

    $ fedpkg build --target=f35-python

Or you can the build and we will eventually build it for you.

Note that the rebuild is still in progress, so not all (build) dependencies of this package might be available right away.

Thanks.

If you have general questions about the rebuild, please use this mailing list thread: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/G47SGOYIQLRDTWGOSLSWERZSSHXDEDH5/

The f35-python side tag has been merged to Rawhide. From now on, build as you would normally build.

This package was successfully rebuilt with Python 3.10.
