From the the Fedora devel list. Hopefully this will just be a minor
packaging change. I filed ticket #157 to track this.

I just built Python 3.2a1 into rawhide:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=191382
so the meaning of "python3" in rawhide just jumped from Python 3.1 to
Python 3.2
A new opcode (SETUP_WITH [1]) was added, to speed up the "with"
statement, and this changes the bytecode format for python 3. python3's
provides changes from:
python(abi) = 3.1
libpython3.1.so.1.0()
to
python(abi) = 3.2
libpython3.2.so.1.0()
So once that package hits the buildroot for rawhide, everything that
builds a python3 package or subpackage will need to be rebuilt, to use
the new bytecode format.
Thankfully this will be a much smaller-scale rebuild than the recent 2.7
rebuilds.
To liven things up a bit, the layout of how Python stores cached
bytecode has changed somewhat.
The full details can be seen at:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3147/
but to summarize, where before you had:
foo/__init__.py
foo/bar.py
foo/baz.py
with cached bytecode:
foo/__init__.pyc
foo/__init__.pyo
foo/bar.pyc
foo/baz.pyo
foo/bar.pyc
foo/baz.pyo
with Python 3.2 onwards you now have a __pycache__ directory:
foo/__init__.py
foo/bar.py
foo/baz.py
foo/__pycache__/
foo/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-32.pyc
foo/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-32.pyo
foo/__pycache__/foo.cpython-32.pyc
foo/__pycache__/foo.cpython-32.pyo
foo/__pycache__/bar.cpython-32.pyc
foo/__pycache__/bar.cpython-32.pyo
and the files are explicitly for "CPython 3.2" (the "32" above refers to
the python version, not the architecture; this threw me initially).
The idea is to permit sharing of modules between multiple
parallel-installable versions of Python.
So you'll need to update the %files for python3 subpackages, listing
something like:
foo/__pycache__
to capture the directory and the bytecode files within.
Hope this makes sense
