Questions, questions ... These new guidelines seem to be fine for pure Python packages, but I'm maintaining a couple of packages where Python bindings are built as subpackages of existing C libraries:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libnbd https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libguestfs [Yes there are good reasons for this. No we are not going to decouple them and package the Python stuff separately.] Running %pyproject_install etc is not really an option for us. However I guess some of these macros could make sense (%pyproject_save_files? %pyproject_files?). Also I don't think these projects generate the extra *.egg-info files or how to create them. > === Not removing older guidelines === > There's no rush; it might well take a decade. I guess we've got a while ... While I've got your attention, one other package is interesting: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nbdkit This has Python 3 bindings but they work in completely the opposite way to normal bindings, namely a Python interpreter is embedded in a C program. As far as I know none of the Python guidelines in Fedora address this scenario directly, and indeed we don't currently use any of the special %python* macros.
