But I'm all for pypy1-foo to be on the save side... One thing, that comes to my mind: Should it be python2-foo or cpython2-foo? Otherwise, I went ahead and created a feature page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PythonNamingDependingOnImplementati… Feel free to add yourself to the "owner" list and change it, when there is something missing. I would propose, that we agree to a IRC meeting, where we can discuss possible differences or do you think anything is sorted out now and the feature is "sane" for anyone? Greetings, Tom

Orphaning python-migrate in devel
by Toshio Kuratomi 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Just a heads up that I've just orphaned python-migrate in devel. Despite playing around with it many times, I've never actually gotten to the point where I could use it in the code I'm writing. Ralph Bean has also just gotten python-alembic reviewed for Fedora. From a look at it, alembic should be able to serve the same use cases as python-migrate and has some nice additional features as well. If someone wants to take over migrate feel free -- I'd be happy to release the other branches to your care as well. If not, it will eventually be retired in the once-a-release retirement of orphaned packages. -Toshio

Introduction and a query
by Amit Saha 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

Hi all, I am Amit and just joined the mailing list here to keep track of Python developments on Fedora. I had a rather subjective question and I may have missed any documentation on the same. Python packages are easily installed via 'pip-python'. For Python packages which are not yet packaged for Fedora, is it a great value addition if I would pick it up and package it? Or, should I consider it only if I or someone else needs it to be there in the Fedora repositories for a reason - for example, I wanted to include 'picloud' client library in the Scientific Spin and hence decided to package it [1]. Does the SIG consider an interest in packaging any useful Python module for Fedora as a value addition to the Fedora community? What determines its acceptance, other than the package being correctly built/conforming to the guidelines? [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=799810 Thanks, Amit -- http://echorand.me

Switching to Python 3
by Bohuslav Kabrda 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Hi, I'd like to start a discussion about the release where we should switch to Python 3. As I have learned recently, Ubuntu 12.10 will have Python 3 as default [1], which makes me a sad panda :( We always take pride in being close to upstream and having the bleeding edge. Python 3 is stable and more and more libraries support it. So I'd like to propose an idea to switch to Python 3 for Fedora 19. Please note, that I don't want to start a flamewar with this, but a serious discussion. I want to know what python SIG thinks about taking this step before taking it to wider public on fedora-devel. -- Regards, Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda.
