Hi all,
We should get started on Python 3.12, 3.13 alpha is already getting
released!
Tomorrow I intend to finally(!) start the rebuild, please keep [staging]
clean so nothing conflicts with the rebuild.
A To Do list will drop once we have bootstrapped the build tooling.
The rebuild is underway! Rebuilding python modules is tricky with all
the cyclic dependencies, which is causing delays.
There are some improvements we should make in our Python packaging
guidelines to make rebuilding easier. We should never package backports
like python-importlib-metadata, which was provided in 3.8. A bug should
be filled and we should fix their requirements/pyproject.toml/setup.cfg
to depend on it conditionally, for example lexicon depends on it, while
it is not needed as their pyproject.toml has: [1]
importlib-metadata = { version = ">=4.6", python = "<3.10" }
We should also disallow python-pytest-cov as a checkdepends, when
running tests we aren't interested in coverage. We should either patch
this out or fix the pytest invocation to ignore `addopts` with for
example pytest --config-file /dev/null. The same goes for other pytest
plugins such as python-pytest-benchmark.
Python-nose should be removed and it's test invocations replaced by
python -m unittest or pytest. Fedora notably does not package nose, I
believe it also depends on the imp module has to be dropped afaik.
We should discuss if we want to keep providing module documentation
using python-sphinx for for example python-urllib3. To make rebuilding
and breaking cycles easier we dropped this from some packages. We should
make a policy for either keeping or removing it.
After the rebuild is done I will spend some time on updating our
Packaging guidelines and creating a to do to investigate dropping these
packages:
- python-nose
- python-pytest-runner
- python-six
- python-importlib-metdata
- python-exceptiongroup
- python-contextlib2
- python-typing_extensions
- python-unicodedata2

Happy packaging,
