Python 3 is intended by upstream to be the future of Python, but we have many critical components that use Python 2. Python 2 and Python 3 are sufficiently different that we need both (try writing "print" in each). Python 2 will be around for a long time. Changing the meaning of "python" to mean python 3 rather than python 2 in specfiles/yum/rpmdb would have a very high chance of breaking something during updates, and I don't see any real benefit. Hence the plan is to continue to use "python-" to mean the existing python 2 stack, and "python3-" for the new parallel-installable python3 stack.

Updated specfile: http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3.spec
Updated SRPM: http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3-3.1.1-9.fc11.src.rpm
Diff between 3.1.1-8 and 3.1.1-9:
http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3-from-3.1.1-8-to-3.1.1-9.diff
I've tested this with a sample specfile and it works.
One possible drawback is that the macro files are read (with rpmInitMacros) and
expanded on every rpm operation, which means that when python3-devel is
installed, every "rpm" invocation is going to be quietly invoking
/usr/bin/python3 twice on startup. None of the existing macro files seem to
invoke subprocess during expansion.
Having said that, it only affects systems with python-devel installed, so I
don't see this as a problem.
I'll look at doing something similar for the main "python-devel" package.
rpmlint output is as before (see comment #38)

Yes. Create the macros in a file named macros.python3 (and macros.python for
the python2 macros) and drop them into %{_sysconfdir}/rpm/.
For instance, /etc/rpm/macros.perl in the perl-devel file.

--- Comment #39 from Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2009-10-30
20:14:13 EDT ---
Python 3.* isn't very standard across packages. Since we're saying that
python2 and python3 are different language versions, I think we should use
Python 3 (or Python3) in the descriptions.
We're unconditionally BuildRequireing openssl-devel so why are we
conditionalizing this:
if pkg-config openssl ; then
export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS `pkg-config --cflags openssl`"
export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS `pkg-config --libs-only-L openssl`"
fi
We don't need this::
[ -d $RPM_BUILD_ROOT ] && rm -fr $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
Change this::
- mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_mandir}
+ mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_prefix} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_mandir}
Why do we still have this in the spec file? there's more and more work being
done on utilizing the information in the egg-info metadata so I don't think we
can keep removing it and stay compatible with upstream's intentions::
# Get rid of egg-info files (core python modules are installed through rpms)
rm $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{pylibdir}/*.egg-info
Unless there's a good reason we probably want to make this change::
# Switch all shebangs to refer to the specific Python version.
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./python Tools/scripts/pathfix.py -i "%{_bindir}/env
python%{pybasever}" $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./python Tools/scripts/pathfix.py -i
"%{_bindir}/python%{pybasever}" $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
What files are affected here?
# Remove shebang lines from .py files that aren't executable
I just glanced at python2.6 and saw several different kinds of files that this
falls to:
difflib.py - can run a unittest.. no harm done
unittest.py - can be run as a script and do something useful
For find out which this is you have to check what the file does when run as a
script.
.cvsignore removal shouldn't be needed anymore as upstream hasswitched to svn
and then to hg. remove lines like this::
find $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/ -name ".cvsignore"|xargs rm -f
find . -name ".cvsignore"|xargs rm -f
Fedora standard has %post and %postun before %files.
I'd like us to think about installing rpm macros like python_sitelib from this
and the main python package so we don't have to add it as boilerplate to each
spec file.

(For reference, Andrew also filed a report about this for the main python
package as bug 531901)
Thanks; I've fixed this in the latest version of the file:
Updated specfile: http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3.spec
Updated SRPM: http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3-3.1.1-7.fc11.src.rpm
Diff between 3.1.1-6 and 3.1.1-7:
http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3-from-3.1.1-6-to-3.1.1-7.diff
This adds an additional rpmlint warning:
python3.i686: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package
/usr/include/python3.1/pyconfig-32.h
but clearly this is deliberate, to address the issue in comment #37/bug 531901

--- Comment #37 from Andrew McNabb 2009-10-29 15:16:08

The current specfile puts %{pylibdir}/config/* into the devel subpackage.
However, distutils needs to load %{pylibdir}/config/Makefile (see the
get_makefile_filename() function in distutils/sysconfig.py. Since distutils is
and should be in the main python3 package, then %{pylibdir}/config/Makefile
also needs to be in the main python3 package instead of the devel subpackage.
Based on _init_posix() in distutils/sysconfig.py, it looks like this is also
true for /usr/include/python2.6/pyconfig.h. The only alternative would be to
put distutils into the python3-devel subpackage, but that doesn't seem right at
all.

I didn't like this approach, as it would restrict us to having all .py files
within one srpm build be for the same python implementation.
I've created a patch for rpmbuild which doesn't have this restriction, and it
thus can support e.g. both a python-foo and python3-foo subpackage emitted from
the same build. I don't yet know if this is sane, but I don't want to rule it
out due to tool bugs.
See bug 531117 for the gory details.
I've also created an rpmlint test to verify timestamps and ABI versions of
.pyc/.pyo files (this is bug 531102).
Finally, I've patched "file" so it can identify Python 3 bytecode files (see
bug 531082).
(all of the above bugs along with this review are on a Python 3 tracker bug;
bug 530636).

FWIW I think this is still true with my patch; IIRC "make install" does the
byte-compilation using the freshly built python binary; I just need to sort out
the timestamps.

Actually, I now think my description is wrong; I now think the definition of
__os_install_post comes from /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros (from our downstream
redhat-rpm-config rpm).
I'll send a patch to add a %{__python} argument there, which should cover
building rpms on top of this one; they should be able to a
%define __python /usr/bin/python3
and rpmbuild should then bytecompile .py files in those rpms with that binary.
I don't think doing so covers the case of this core python3 package though, so
maybe we still need the current workaround (we'd have to somehow define
%{__python} to be the freshly-built python3.1, and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc,
which I don't see how to do sanely)

I think that sounds like a good idea. The only problem is that within the
python3.spec, we couldn't just set `RPMBUILD_PYTHON_INTERPRETER=./python`
because this interpreter also needs to be called with `LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.`. And
it would be a shame to change brp-python-bytecompile in a way that didn't help
at all for python3.spec. Hmm.

Hmm. Is it really necessary to remove the shebang lines from .py files that
aren't executable? I think it's a complicated (and error-prone) step that
doesn't have any tangible value.

If this step is really necessary, the only way to embed "head -n1 |grep" is to
offload it into a standalone shell script. Alternatively, you could use sed:
sed -e '/^#!/Q 0' -e 'Q 1' {}
It will return 0 if the shebang is found and 1 otherwise. Hey, that's actually
pretty cool, in a sick way. :)

--- Comment #28 from Dave Malcolm 2009-10-22 18:16:50
EDT ---
Of the rpmlint warnings, I think that the following are ignorable:
- 3 "zero-length" errors: I believe these are deliberate:
- I believe that "build_class.py" must exist for legacy compat reasons (so
that "import build_class" succeeds)
- nullcert.pem is a test datafile
- Templates/copyright is an empty placeholder file
- 1 "uncompressed-zip" warning: this is an upstream test data file for
exercising the zip handling code. It seems better to me to leave it as is.
- 1 "file-not-utf8" warning: this file ("Demo/distutils/test2to3/setup.py") is
an upstream test file for the 2to3 code, with a non-utf8 encoding. One of the
purposes of the 2to3 code is to do character set conversions on .py files, so
having this file as non-utf8 verifies that the 2to3 tool is capable of doing
this correctly.
That leaves the 3 subpackages that show "no-documentation" warnings. These
aren't especially serious IMHO, but I can fix them if others perceive them as a
problem.

But if you'd prefer me to go that route, I'll do it (potentially we could continue the review here, but if the import process requires a fresh clone we could do the clone at that point, to avoid splitting the conversation). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review

I've also attempted to address some of the issues already raised in this review. Specfile: http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3.spec SRPM: http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3-3.1.1-2.fc11.src.rpm To ease review, a diff from Andrew's 3.1.1-1 specfile to my 3.1.1-2 specfile can be seen here: http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3-from-3.1.1-1-to-3.1.1-2.diff I wrote a custom __find_provides hook, filtering away paths matching /usr/lib/python (which appears to require setting _use_internal_dependency_generator to 0). See http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/find-provides-without-python-sonames.sh This successfully gets rid of the various _collectionsmodule.so etc provides lines: $ rpm -q --provides python3 python3 = 3.1.1-2.fc11 python3(x86-32) = 3.1.1-2.fc11 and thus my script to find collisions with the regular "python" rpms no longer detects any "Provides" collisions . Note that SONAME provides still work for regular libraries: $ rpm -q --provides python3-libs libpython3.1.so.1.0 python3-libs = 3.1.1-2.fc11 python3-libs(x86-32) = 3.1.1-2.fc11 See the %changelog in the specfile for the other changes. rpmlint output isn't clean yet (but it's getting late here): python3.i586: E: binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath /usr/lib/python3.1/lib-dynload/_sqlite3.so ['/usr/lib'] python3.i586: E: zero-length /usr/lib/python3.1/build_class.py python3-libs.i586: W: no-documentation python3-test.i586: W: no-documentation python3-test.i586: E: zero-length /usr/lib/python3.1/test/nullcert.pem python3-test.i586: E: script-without-shebang /usr/lib/python3.1/distutils/tests/Setup.sample python3-test.i586: W: uncompressed-zip /usr/lib/python3.1/test/zipdir.zip python3-tkinter.i586: W: no-documentation python3-tools.i586: E: script-without-shebang /usr/lib/python3.1/Demo/comparisons/patterns python3-tools.i586: E: script-without-shebang /usr/lib/python3.1/Demo/rpc/test python3-tools.i586: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/lib/python3.1/Demo/distutils/test2to3/setup.py python3-tools.i586: E: zero-length /usr/lib/python3.1/Tools/modulator/Templates/copyright python3-tools.i586: W: wrong-file-end-of-line-encoding /usr/lib/python3.1/Demo/turtle/tdemo_round_dance.py python3-tools.i586: W: file-not-utf8 /usr/lib/python3.1/Demo/rpc/README python3-tools.i586: E: script-without-shebang /usr/lib/python3.1/Tools/README python3-tools.i586: E: script-without-shebang /usr/lib/python3.1/Demo/scripts/newslist.doc python3-tools.i586: E: script-without-shebang /usr/lib/python3.1/Demo/md5test/foo python3-tools.i586: W: wrong-file-end-of-line-encoding /usr/lib/python3.1/Demo/turtle/tdemo_nim.py 7 packages and 0 specfiles checked; 10 errors, 8 warnings. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review

In order to verify this, I've written a script to attempt to identify areas where the two sets of packages could interfere with each other. Specifically, the attached script takes the locally-installed set of python (2) rpms as one PackageSet, and a locally-built set of python3 rpms as another PackageSet, and attempts to locate - names listed in the "Provides" in one set of packages that also occur in the "Provides" of a package in the other set - paths owned by packages in both sets Is the script a reasonable test of the parallel-installability of the rpms? Is there anything else it should test for? Running this script on my F11 machine's python rpms, together with a local build of the candidate python3 rpms outputs some collisions: == Colliding "Provides" items: == Lots of "foo.so" lines appear (e.g. "_bisectmodule.so"), but probably shouldn't. The python modules have numerous auto-generated lines e.g. "Provides: _bisectmodule.so". I believe they're coming from the SONAME entries in the built c extension modules, from the script "/usr/lib/rpm/find-provides". Does anything actually use these provides lines? My feeling is that they should be suppressed for the Python 3 rpms, and probably for Python 2 rpms also: the .so files aren't in the regular system search path for DSOs (instead, being loaded by Python's module loading mechanism). Looking at /usr/lib/rpm/macros, it looks like this can be overridden by setting __find_provides to another script, or empty, though we probably shouldn't do this; don't want to hide the python library itself. == Colliding filesystem items: == I see the following collisions; duplicate ownership within the -debuginfo packages.

Well it's clear to you because you don't have to do 3x the work :) ... but, yeh, in Fedora the obvious solution to this is to ban it (I've seen 3rd party repos. do it for php modules so they work with the RHEL-5 version and a php-5.3 version). > For right now, we're just doing the interpreter, and you make a great argument > for waiting to package libraries for Python 3. Right, as I said ... the problem with just doing the interpreter is that it doesn't really help anyway because very few things use no extra modules. For this reason alone I don't think you can pretend this will be a one off, it's very likely to avalanche into RFEs for everything possible to be available in both versions. So, again IMO, you need to start from that assumption not assume that you can just do a py2k package. > However, this will eventually be unavoidable ignoring Python 3 won't make it > go away. I'm not saying to ignore it, we do semi-significant GCC updates every few releases which break things ... yes, python3 breaks pretty much every piece of python ever.

One of the concerns was: "Of course humans are lazy, so to get around doing some of this work someone will decide it's a good idea to have a single python-blah package that works with either/both versions of python ... and then you'll have more problems." A package that works with both python2 and python3 would have to write files to both /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages and /usr/lib/python3.1/site-packages. This is clearly a bad idea, and it seems reasonable to ban it in the packaging guidelines. There is also the worry about having to support two versions of each package. For right now, we're just doing the interpreter, and you make a great argument for waiting to package libraries for Python 3. However, this will eventually be unavoidable, and ignoring Python 3 won't make it go away. Is it inaccurate to summarize the rest of your concerns as: "two versions of Python will lead to user complaints"? I think all of the complaints that you enumerated are unavoidable and not particularly severe.

I'm already using patches instead of sed in my specfile, so I'll just keep on doing that. 5) I agree that Tk isn't the prettiest thing in the world, but upstream hasn't deprecated it (and it's the only GUI in the stdlib). I don't think we have to like it, but that doesn't mean we should make misleading comments in the package descriptions. 7) Thanks for the clarification about multilib (this is one of those areas where I still make lots of mistakes).

I just get to complain :) Anyway, I think I can clear some stuff up: 4) IMO use a patch instead of sed, the advantage of sed is that a patch often breaks as new upstreams of python are done. The disadvantage of sed is that it'll keep almost working, silently, when new upstreams of python change something. 5) The problems with TK are that it looks like gack, and has no i18n support. So pygtk2 is _much_ prefered. 7) python-libs is separate for multilib, x86_64 has just: python-devel.i5862.6-9.fc11updates python-libs.i586 2.6-9.fc11updates -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review

I agree with you on almost all points. The important thing for me is getting a working RPM that can be installed alongside Python 2. As you noticed, a lot of things in my specfile exist purely to be similar to Python 2 (although I changed anything that seemed wrong or inapplicable). I wouldn't have any hard feelings over which specfile is used. However, there are some areas where I think mine is more "right" and other areas where I think ivazquez's is probably better. Obviously, we should want to combine the best of both. Here are a few specific thoughts: 1) I think that the name python3 is clearly preferable to python3000. 2) I'm confused by the .list thing. The .list files are really short, and I don't see how they make it any more clear. In fact, I think they make the specfile more difficult to read. Is this a standard way to do things? 3) The patch python-3.1.1-config.patch follows the approach of Python 2. This is really important (whoever did Python 2 really knew what they were doing). Python's default build configuration (without the patch applied) will fail silently if a module can't be built. This is really evil. It means that if a dependency is missing, then files will just disappear. This patch gets rid of silent failures by explicitly specifying which modules must be built. 4) The patch python-3.1.1-lib64.patch ensures that Python is installed into /usr/lib64 (as per Fedora's packaging guidelines). It looks like the python3000 specfile does the same work with sed instead of a patch. I don't know which approach is better, and I could be easily persuaded either way. I picked to make a patch to more closely match the Python 2 specfile, but I can definitely see some advantages to using sed. 5) I have no strong feelings on the package description or build dependencies. However, I don't get the disparaging remarks about Tkinter. Not that I have any attachment to Tkinter, but I'm not aware of it being considered in any way deprecated. 6) The configure option --with-wide-unicode seems to be the correct spelling for the option, where --enable-unicode=ucs4 is the old way to say it. 7) By the way, the python3000 package defines a python3000-libs subpackage, but the python3 package just includes the .so file in the main package. When I tried to have a python3-libs package, it ended up being a prerequisite for python3 anyway, so I couldn't see the point in keeping it separate. However, it's entirely possible that I did something wrong to make this happen. :) ivazquez, do you have any thoughts on these issues? Is there any particular reason that you didn't submit your package for review?

Ignacio: I hope that's OK. Andrew: thanks for your work on packaging Python 3 I feel a little awkward about reviewing this. As far as I can see based on the link in comment #3, ivazquez has been packaging Python 3000 since 2007-09-01, with "3.0-0.a1.1": Sat Sep 1 2007 Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams 3.0-0.a1.1 and he's been steadily updating his rpms since then. However, I don't think he ever filed a package review request on those rpms. (Please correct me if I'm wrong!) Ignacio: is there a reason you didn't file a review request? I've posted a proposal on Python 3 in Fedora 13. See this proposed feature page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Python3F13 I'm very keen to see a python 3 package in Fedora, either based on Andrew's srpm, or on Ignacio's. I also tried packaging it, but I'm happy to abandon my specfile in favor of your work. I would like to be a comaintainer of the resulting package. For me, the most important thing is that the python 3 rpms should be installable in parallel with the python 2 rpms. I hope I captured the other kinds of expected behavior on the feature page above. I'd be happy to review your package (though we need to find a sponsor for you), but I'm worried that Ignacio may feel put out if we use your package rather than his (and likewise, vice versa). I'm curious why Ignacio never filed a package review request on his packages. Thoughts? I tried generating a pure textual "diff" of the two specfiles (Andrew's vs Ignacio's), but too much is different for the result to be meaningful. So I tried comparing individual aspects of the packaging (no doubt omitting much): = Name = "python3" vs "python3000" I prefer "python3"; I feel that "python 3000" was a good development codename during the development towards 3.0, but now that it's been released, "3" seems to be the name. I'd prefer us to use "python3-" as a naming prefix throughout. = Source and Patches = ivazquez's srpm makes use of various ".list" source files to control various parts of the build/install/etc, and I think this approach works well. amcnabb's patches: Patch0: python-3.1.1-config.patch This heavily patches Modules/Setup.dist, like we do on the python 2 rpm. I haven't gone though and checked the various modules in detail yet, but it looks reasonable, a "batteries-included" approach. Patch102: python-3.1.1-lib64.patch It's only applied on 64-bit archs; it reworks lib to lib64 in many places. # http://bugs.python.org/issue6999 -- fixed in r75062 Patch200: python-3.1.1-pathfix.patch Fixes an encoding issue with the pathfix script, used when fixing up shebangs. Good to see that you upstreamed it. ivazquez's patches: Patch0: Python-3.1.1-rpath.patch Removes standard library path from rpath. Patch1: Python-3.0a5-libprep.patch Ignacio's version fix up the shebangs uses sed (see "sedcmd" in the specfile), rather than fixing the broken "pathfix" tool. = BuildRequires = Both have BuildRequires on: bzip2-devel db4-devel (amcnabb's has a ">= 4.7" here) gdbm-devel openssl-devel ncurses-devel readline-devel sqlite-devel tk-devel (alphabetized them for ease of comparison) amcnabb's has an additional: BuildRequires: gmp-devel BuildRequires: zlib-devel, expat-devel BuildRequires: libGL-devel tk tix gcc-c++ libX11-devel glibc-devel BuildRequires: bzip2 tar /usr/bin/find pkgconfig tcl-devel BuildRequires: tix-devel BuildRequires: autoconf BuildRequires: libffi-devel Some of these are implicitly assumed in the buildroot, and don't need to be explicitly listed. The others presumably reflect the very broad batteries-included approach taken when patching Modules/Setup.dist ivazquez's has an additional: BuildRequires: gdbm-devel BuildRequires: python = Description = amcnabb's seems to be taken directly from our python 2 specfile; I think the one in ivazquez's specfile is better (although as I said, I feel we should refer to Python 3 not to Python 3000). In particular, the description in ivazquez' specfile deprecates the use of TkInter, which I think is wise advice! = Subpacakages = amcnabb's specfile has a -test subpackage, whereas ivazquez's is -tests. Our python 2 specfile uses the singular form, so perhaps we should use the singular form for consistency (also, the main component of it is the "Lib/test" directory from the upstream tarball, again a singular) = Configuration = Both specfiles have %configure with: --enable-ipv6 --enable-shared amcnabb's adds: --with-wide-unic
[Bug 526126] Review Request: python3 - Python 3.x (backwards incompatible version)

All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=526126 Dave Malcolm changed: What|Removed |Added CC||dmalc...@redhat.com --- Comment #6 from Dave Malcolm 2009-10-01 15:45:18 EDT --- I also had a go at packaging 3.1.1, before I saw either of your efforts, so we now have 3 separate SRPMS... I'll have a look and compare the 3 SRPMs. To liven things up further, I think it would be good if the python 3 specfile closely resembled the python 2 specfile. (It may be necessary to clean up the python 2 specfile to do this, see bug 226342).
