So, I've been playing around with trying to get cobbler and django 1.8 built with python2.7 for EPEL6 here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python2.7_epel6/packages/ I've basically got this working, with the following caveats: - You can only have one (python) version of mod_wsgi installed/loaded in httpd. Currently in EPEL, there is only the system python version of mod_wsgi available, although in Fedora there is also a python3 version available with this same condition. It does: $ cat /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/10-wsgi-python3.conf # NOTE: mod_wsgi_python3 can not coexist in the same apache process as # mod_wsgi (python2). Only load if mod_wsgi is not already loaded. <IfModule !wsgi_module> LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi_python3.so </IfModule> So I've done the same thing with python2.7-mod_wsgi for EPEL6. This will cause an upgrade issue though for EPEL6 users as they will need to remove or disable mod_wgsi after the upgrade. This shouldn't affect EPEL7 at the moment as Django 1.8 should be able to be built with the system python 2.7. - I built python2.7-django1.8 as a versioned egg (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python_Eggs#Multiple_Versions). This requires dependent packages to use pkg_resources from setuptools to load the dep. For example: +import pkg_resources +pkg_resources.require("Django >= 1.8") I don't think this is too onerous for allowing us to upgrade the version of Django later. I don't know if there can be upper version limits and if so whether they should be used or not.
