Re: F35 Change: Python Packaging Guidelines overhaul (System-Wide Change proposal)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Questions, questions ...

These new guidelines seem to be fine for pure Python packages, but I'm
maintaining a couple of packages where Python bindings are built as
subpackages of existing C libraries:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libnbd
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libguestfs

[Yes there are good reasons for this.  No we are not going to decouple
them and package the Python stuff separately.]

Running %pyproject_install etc is not really an option for us.
However I guess some of these macros could make sense
(%pyproject_save_files?  %pyproject_files?).  Also I don't think these
projects generate the extra *.egg-info files or how to create them.

I guess we've got a while ...

While I've got your attention, one other package is interesting:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nbdkit

This has Python 3 bindings but they work in completely the opposite
way to normal bindings, namely a Python interpreter is embedded in a
C program.  As far as I know none of the Python guidelines in Fedora
address this scenario directly, and indeed we don't currently use any
of the special %python* macros.
