Allison has it up on bitbucket (although it doesn't look like that has seen any work since my commits).
http://bitbucket.org/allison/py3kdeps Once I saw the code, I remembered how we worked around many of the issues with mapping package names to pypi names and names in other distros. We used the tarball. For Fedora this is especially easy as we don't modify the tarball at all, so the tarball name is almost always going to be the same as what's in pypi. For Debian derivatives, the tarball gets renamed, but it's still possible to do this. -Toshio _______________________________________________ python-devel mailing list python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/python-devel
