[python-SIG] Introduction new member

[seddik alaoui ismaili]

Hi Folks,

I'm seddik, I have joined Fedora Infrastructure Community in July 2020 as a
contributor. So I'm helping with automation and monitoring tasks.
I have a little experience on python programming, and would be happy to get
involved as much as ever.

Please feel free to help me with any documentation, or process related to
fedora python contribution. I would love to help/ maintain a python
application.

I found these links :

Hi Jaime,

Welcome to the community, again.

This would be the place to start for package maintenance:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Joining_the_Package_Maintainers/

There are lots of us sponsors around, so please go through the process
and we'll be happy to help you with it and sponsor you:
https://docs.pagure.org/fedora-sponsors/

See you around :)

A very brief introduction.

[Jaime Andres Torres Bermejo]

Hello there, i'm Jaime Andres Torres Bermejo, and i'm currently a student
in Colombia (My current time zone is UTC -5, as a result), and i'm
currently trying to find places where i could help in fedora, this being my
first sent contact. My previous experiences with python include being able
to teach it as part of Stanford's CS Bridge program and also being involved
in the development of robotics projects on it, mostly concerning computer
vision. Besides this, i've also worked on a few integrations between C++
and Python for Robotics, but either way, i'm interested in contributing to
Fedora's integration with Python. Package Management and Review seems
interesting, however i'm up for recommendations of what kind of work is
there to do, if there's anything that comes up, please let me know.

Best regards,

Jaime Andres Torres.

Hi Thomas,
  looking forward to see your contributions. Feel free to ask questions. It is 
nice to see people working on Scientific Computing contributing to Fedora. :-)

PS: Obligatory joke, a poor attempt at showing empathy to newcomers: the last 
time that I have studied Astronomy at University the number of known and 
confirmed exoplanets could be counted by hand. :-D :-)

Self Introduction: Thomas Vandal

[Thomas Vandal]

Hi,

I am a PhD student in astronomy at the Université de Montréal, in 
Canada. I use Fedora as my main OS and use Python a lot for my research 
work. I am new to contributing to Fedora. I am interested in packaging 
Python packages that I use for my  research that is not yet available. 
This includes data analysis packages, astronomy-focused packages, and 
also more specialized packages related to my field of study 
(exoplanets).


For now, I am still learning about packaging for Fedora. Looking 
forward to submit a first package.


Best,

Thomas Vandal

Hello Harsh and welcome.

What areas do you want to contribute to?

As an example, we have a lot of bugz open for packages that fail to build with 
Python 3.10:


https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=PYTHON3.10_resolved=1

Many of the problems have note yet been investigated or reported to upstreams.

If that does not sound good, take a look at 
https://packager-dashboard.fedoraproject.org/python-sig and pick what you like 
to work on. Feel free to ask here for details about any specific thing.

Or if you need another horror show, see:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=PYTHON39_resolved=1

Those are the bugs that need to be fixed for the Python 3.9 update, described 
in:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python3.9

Mostly it is:

 - check if this is fixed upstream
 - check if this is reported upstream
 - open Fedora PRs with backported fixes
 - open upstream PRs

Welcome :-)

I guess there is a lot of important stuff where you can help out (both in
Fedora and/or upstream).

Just in case you don't find anything and you want to go more into packaging
you could check out blocking bugs for issue 1797129 ("certbot in EPEL 7 should
use Python 3"):

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_id=1797129_id_type=anddependson=tvp_id=11041137#
(click "Expand all" for the full horror show ;-)

There are a lot of bugs to fix but most fixes are really easy as it means
adding Python 3 subpackages for EPEL 7 and usually the EPEL 7 version already
works with Python 3.

However there is a good chance (50% maybe?) you find outdated/ancient
packaging which I try to clean up while working on a package:
- no tests
executed during builds even though upstream has a suitable test
  suite (this can involve a bit of digging upstream as sometimes you just need
  1-2 additional patches to make it work in Fedora)
- e.g. bad licensing information
- using modern macros


If you want to look a bit at upstream Python work which could also help Fedora
(+other distros) you might want to check out python-betamax.

Currently Fedora can not run the test suite during package builds because it
requires internet access. Changing network endpoints are also a reason why the
upstream test suite breaks sometimes so it would be beneficial to mock all
network interaction.

There are two upstream tickets for this:
https://github.com/betamaxpy/betamax/issues/145
https://github.com/betamaxpy/betamax/issues/184#issuecomment-612632563

Once that is fixed ideally there is an upstream release which we can package
in Fedora. You might want to ping the maintainer so he knows that there is
something extra than just bumping the version.


Another pet peeve of mine is GPG verification during package builds as
described here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts:GPGSignatures#Source_file_verification

The issue is finding software which has signed releases and tweaking the spec
files accordingly.


Just a word of caution: The most frustrating thing when contributing to Fedora
(for me) is waiting for maintainers after submitting pull requests etc.

This can even affect seemingly high-profile packages like "mesa". For example
this pull request of mine did not get any reaction even though it is open for
about 1/2 year and I think its benefits are clear cut:
  https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mesa/pull-request/6

Pagure lists 15 maintainers and I sent several private emails but did not get
any response.

Most of the times I can get my changes in as needed. Even though I'm not a
sponsor feel free to ping me if you have questions or if you feel stuck. I'll
try to guide you to the right people/places to get you unblocked.

Sorry for the very very late reply. I had this in my backlog, but it got swamped

Becoming member of the "python-sig" FAS group is not a matter of honor, but a 
matter of need. Why do you need this?


I recommend starting with sending and reviewing Pull Requests on python-sig 
packages. Then a sponsor might have an idea about what changes you actually plan 
to do and why.

Newbie introduction to Python SIG

[Adrian Adrian]

Hi guys, I was looking to join Fedora development, and as I'm most familiar with Python, I thought the Python SIG would be my way to go. Following the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Python/JoinSIG guide, it suggests to post a self-introduction to the mailing list, so that's what I'm doing now :) I'm a student who started coding about 8 years ago with some basic Python book from the local library, got really into it and stopped again later. I then re-learnt a lot about 4 years ago and started building actual projects.My favourite projects include webservers (using quart or sanic), Discord Bots with discord.py (a great lib!) and parsers (though, I need to work on my knowledge there). I had my adventures into Rust and am pretty solid at JS. A few weeks ago I submitted my first PR into CPython (yay!). I am looking to help in any way possible to bring Fedora and especially Python in Fedora forward. I'm a noob when it comes to mailing lists and stuff - I hope people have patience with me. I'm @Gelbpunkt in IRC and will try to hang out in the fedora-python channel as often as I can. I would apprechiate getting some starting tips in where to contribute and in which way help would be needed. I've looked at the list of starting points - porting Python 2 to 3 seems where I feel most comfortable - though, starting tips would be apprechiated! If required, I'll be willing to dive into cold water ;) Many greetings from Germany,Jens aka adriany___

Self-introduction

[Fabian Affolter]

Hi all,

I don't want to repeat myself, please take a look at my wiki page [1].

Why I want to join? I have one too many Python package and I started to
add the python-sig as admin. But it goes both ways, if the SIG has
access to my packages I want to be part of the SIG.  My name is in the
member list [2] for quite a while but I guess that doesn't come with the
right permissions.

Thanks for adding me to python-sig.

If you have any further questions please replay to this message or write
me in private. These days I'm no longer very active on IRC because of my
day job.

Kind regard,

Fabian

Re: SIG introduction

[Miro Hrončok]

Dne 10. 12. 18 v 21:18 Carl George napsal(a):

Howdy!  My name is Carl.  I'm a Linux Engineer at Rackspace.  Part of my job is 
running the IUS project [0].  I also maintain numerous packages in Fedora and 
EPEL, both for work and personal reasons.

I'd like to join the Python SIG.  I'm primarily interested in EPEL python34/python36 
packages.  I'd also like to help with python2-to-python3 porting efforts in Fedora.  I 
already got my "Parselmouth I" badge, and would like to unlock the other levels.

Packaging is what I'm most passionate about, but I do a small amount of Python 
development as well.  Usually this is focused around whatever other task I need 
to accomplish.  Earlier this year I published my first module on PyPI.  It's 
called repomd [1], and I use it to have an object-oriented interface for 
getting package info out of yum repositories.  If that sounds interesting to 
you, pull requests are welcome.

[1]: https://pypi.org/project/repomd/


Welcome, Carl!

Note for the others: Carl is now a co-maintainer of python34 and 
python36 packages (primarily for EPEL).

Hi,

welcome to Fedora!

The list of python2 packages to port over is long enough that this
will still be a subject for the next few years [0]. Currently Fedora is
shedding some leaf python2 packages [1], but there is still plenty of
stuff to update. And apart from the stuff that is already in Fedora,
there is Python software which could be added to Fedora in the future
if it is updated for Python 3. There is a new initiative to add more
scientific software to Fedora [2], something that might be interesting
for you if you care about bioinformatics.

Nowadays it is possible/exptected/welcome to open pull requests under
https://src.fedoraproject.org/ for the spec files of various packages.
If you want to become a packager (either for some new packages or just
to work on improving the existing ones) and are looking for sponsorship
into the packagers group, let me know off-list.

Yes, I have been vaguely aware of the changes from the mailing list posts.
It was a bit confusing at first, but now that most of the guidelines have
been updated, it seems pretty straightforward.

Hi Elliott and Miro,

I looked over QuLogic's review requests and reviews, and sponsored him.

Elliott, welcome to Fedora. Have fun and use your powers for good ;)
If you have any questions or issues feel free to write to bug me, I'll
do my best to help.

I approved three of your packages. I don't know if you have been
following #fedora-devel and the mailing list closely, but we are in
the process of switching to pagure as the frontend for spec files, and
various issues with have been reported with the process of creating
new packages. You probably should install the latest built fedrepo-req
and ask on #fedora-devel if you encounter any issues.

Self Introduction : Dhanesh B. Sabane [dhanesh95, UTC +5:30]

[Dhanesh B. Sabane]

Aloha! I'm Dhanesh from Maharashtra, India[1]. I've been contributing to Fedora 
since May 2016. I started off with CommOps and now I've come to the point where 
I feel I can be a part of this group. I have just finished my first package for 
Fedora [2] which is Python software and I've got a few more in my queue. 
Packaging was one of my aims and now that I've achieved it, my next aim is to 
help with porting packages from Python2 to Python3. Looking forward to working 
with all of you!

Self introduction, GSoC 2017

[Vasantha Ganesh K]

Hello all,
  I'm new to this mailing list. My name is Vasantha Ganesh Kanniappan. I am a 
free software enthusiast. I am doing my Bachelors in Computer Science 
Engineering from Amrita School of Engineering, Coimbatore, India. I've been 
using Fedora since Fedora 22 but I've been using Linux distros for around four 
years now. This is my second attempt for GSoC. Recently I worked on creating an 
AI-Challenge called Bitjitsu. Other than that I've been working on languages 
and interpreters. I know a couple of languages and Python is one of them. I 
have a FAS account. My blog is here (https://vasanthaganeshk.wordpress.com) and 
all my repos on GitHub are here(https://github.com/vasanthaganeshk). I am 
looking forward to contributing to Fedora after using it for so long. I think 
GSoC might be the start.

Vasantha Ganesh K.

You can start by creating an account in Fedora Account System at 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/

You can start hanging out in #fedora-python @ freenode and checking the dnf
repositories at https://github.com/rpm-software-management/ (is this
moving to pagure?)

While at IRC, you can also ping the guys in the channel to get more
information on the project.

Now, if you also want to know other areas of the project, you can also
check https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join

Hi,

I've been packaging python packages for quite some time and since one
month ago I also joined this mailing list, mainly because I was
interested in reading it.
I think that it would make sense to present myself and maybe help out
more.

I'm mainly interested in python packaging and ATM I'm Poc of 11 python
packages and co-maintainer of other 9.

Best,
Fale

Welcome Tim,

that bug contains a some links to spec files, which are in need of a
patch. But that being said, there are quite a few spec files following
some older recommendation and are now in need of modernization. Patches
are welcome there as well, I'd assume.

If you're looking for other pointers, where to help,
http://fedora.portingdb.xyz/ is another resource.

team and our larger community (in which many many people prefer to use
Fedora). This can be "fun" when new Fedora releases come out. gcc-6 by
default for example. It usually takes a week or two of somebody's time
(now mine) to get it all working ok again. All of our build tools are
based on python. We recently finished our migration to python3 which
makes me very happy.


Congratulations!


I have a couple python projects I'd like to contribute to Fedora. The
two that come to mind are rethinkdb and robotframework (which will be
many sub-packages as well). Maybe I'll come up with more.


What's the status of rethinkdb and robotframework? Can we help getting 
these in?



I am an active
member of the IronPython community and perhaps that means I can help
with mono support in Fedora.


That sounds interesting! I admit I don't know much about IronPython. 
Would you care elaborating a bit on your plans regarding IronPython in 
Fedora?



In particular, I want to drive IronPython
to be python3 ready. I need to learn how to become an __expert__ python
packager for Fedora.  I also want to help with the inevitable fires that
come up. I read the mailing list daily (hourly?) and get all the
notifications about python packages in Fedora. I guess I don't know
where to start helping effectively.


Helping effectively depends a lot on your area of interest. How do *you* 
want to make Fedora better?

Packaging rethinkdb/robotframework seems like it would be a good start.

Then there are always things others would like help with in their quest 
to make Fedora better. For example, in the Python 3 effort, there's a 
tracking bug for cases where the packager doesn't have time to do the 
Python3 port. Some of the bugs there need expert skills, for some it's 
just that the packager doesn't have time:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1333765
If you'd just like to help others but don't know where to start, this 
list is a good place to ask.


As for the inevitable fires, unless it's an embargoed security issues 
there should be a public bug on Bugzilla, and usually a flurry of 
activity on this list or IRC. See the recent majorver-provides 
discussion for example.



I'm hoping to work with the members of python-sig to learn the ropes and
join the team. I am not just curious, I am determined. Driven even. I
would like to take that energy and apply it to python-sig. I look
forward to getting to know you all and working for a long time with you.


Welcome to the Python SIG!



Cheers.

--Tim

P.S. I'm not sure who this email will actually reach, so please forward
to the right list if you have permissions. I'm not going to clutter
python-dev with it anymore. No more negative energy. Life is good.


Well, python-devel is the right list for this post. Sorry for the 
misunderstandings earlier.

Re: [Python-SIG] Self-Introduction: Tim Orling

[Tim Orling]

Hi Petr,

It is precisely the security information that I am seeking access to. My
job depends on it.

I have already done everything in [0]. In some cases more than once. And we
are talking over the period of many months. So let me ask this in return:
what is the process once someone has done everything in [0]? The only place
that I can have any dialog is this mailing list or #fedora-python.
Application to the FAS group is a one time, one way thing. Application to
the python-sig mailing list is a one way thing. A human on the other end
must make some action to move the process forward.

Out of frustration, I emailed tomspur recently, as he is listed as the main
contact for python-sig group in FAS. Other than a response from him, I have
not heard anything else. I can understand that it is summer and people have
holidays and it has not been that long yet.

But I must reiterate that this process has been going on for months from my
side. Fedora already has a problem of perception of being too Red Hat
insider in some circles. My observation has been that Red Hat employees
have been gently reminded on #fedora-python that they need to apply to
python-sig. I am assuming they have been successful. Meanwhile, I wait for
action on the part of a member of python-sig.

That action could be as simple as, "we don't know you, could you please
submit a python package for review so we can start to get to know you?".
But that still requires action on the part of a member of python-sig.

I can tell you that the response from the perl-sig community was much more
inviting.

Cheers.

Hello Tim! Welcome to python-devel, and sorry for us being so quiet.

Is there anything in particular you're pinging about?

If want to access the python-sig FAS group, note that an introduction 
here is just a part of the process [0]. However, that list is mostly 
used to get notifications about bugs in various Python packages (so it 
might not be for you), and it gets security-related information (so not 
everyone who applies is accepted, but I don't know the details there). 
For general discussions there is this list, so you can already participate.

Self-Introduction: Igor Gnatenko

[Igor Gnatenko]

Hi,

I'm Igor and I'm working on Fedora as (mostly) packager for > 3 years.
Currently I maintain ~ 60 python packages[0]. Currently I'm working at
Red Hat in DNF team.

Don't know what to say more. I'm already proven packager, but would
like to join python SIG group and help.

Introduction (cydrobolt)

[Chaoyi Zha]

Hey python-devel,

I'm Chaoyi, a Fedora user and contributor. I've been using Python for a
couple years now, and it has been a great experience. I write my apps in
Python whenever I can because of its readability and versatility. I found
out about the python-sig through a Trac ticket.

I love Python and would love to be involved in the Python community at
Fedora. I mostly contribute to Fedora on the infrastructure team, but I
also work with the ambassadors and web teams, among others.

My FAS and IRC username is "cydrobolt"

Thanks,
Chaoyi
