fellow python packagers, i have just submitted a new Python3 into devel:languages:python:Factory. The new packages are largely untested, so i want to wait a while before forwarding to Factory. Also, there are loose ends i want to tie up. This would be a good time to send your python3 packages to d:l:py ;) A summary of changes you can expect follows. 1. changes in packaging * the package is now split into python3-base and python3, same as python 2.x * noarch packages are supported * RPM macros will be added before end of this week Please let me know about any specific packaging changes you'd like to see. 2. changes in Python * .pyc and .pyo files now reside in __pycache__ subdirectories of module directories. This might mess up your filelists. * binary modules are now ABI tagged. That means that instead of 'module.so', filename will be 'module.cpython-32m.so' This ABI tag will be available as a rpm macro. * Bunch of very nice new features, of notable interest is the new 'sysconfig' module some of you may already know from python 2.7. See [1] for comprehensive list of changes, [2] and [3] for incompatibilities and porting considerations. have fun, m.
