I'm guessing from your response you are not familiar with it.

How to build rpm:

python setup.py bdist_rpm

The magazines said they had written their tutorials for python 3.12, as that 
was the most commonly used version of python. But my main question is, because 
I had issues where required functions for the tutorial weren't in the Fedora 
version of the package, which in my case was already installed as part of the 
python install, how do we know before installing a package rpm whether or not 
it is going to have the needed functions?
The way I have dealt with this in the past is, don't use bleeding
edge. Download packages that are from the same epoch as the Fedora
release you are building for. If you are building something for Fedora
41, which was released October 2024, then download packages and
dependencies that were released around that time. If functions are
missing, then download an earlier version of the package or dependency
and try again.

I do the same regularly for Keysmith, especially on Ubuntu. I can't
build the latest Keysmith release on Ubuntu. I usually have to
checkout an earlier version due to Qt dependencies.
Thanks Jeff, as the module was already installed in Fedora I didn't think about trying to downgrade it. Comparing the installed version to the version that pip installed for python 3.12, the Fedora installed version was missing a large number of functions, so it looked like the Fedora version was a stub module and not the full module.

regards,
Steve
