Python Wheels in fedora

Starting with Fedora 22, Python packages will install itself via Python wheels. The text below describes the minimal specfile changes needed.

Buildrequires

Packages should now Buildrequire python-pip and python-wheel:

BuildRequires: python-pip
BuildRequires: python-wheel

Build section

Packages should now use the bdist_wheel command, instead of install, the simplest build section thus becomes:

%{__python2} setup.py bdist_wheel

%if 0%{?with_python3}
pushd %{py3dir}
%{__python3} setup.py bdist_wheel
popd
%endif

Install section

Packages should now use pip to install themselves, the simplest install section thus becomes: (mention strip-file-prefix)

%if 0%{?with_python3}
pushd %{py3dir}
pip3 install -I dist/%{python3_wheelname} --root %{buildroot} --strip-file-prefix
popd
%endif

pip2 install -I dist/%{python2_wheelname} --root %{buildroot} --strip-file-prefix

Files section

You may need to add the following entries to the files section:

%{python2_sitelib}/%{name}-%{version}.dist-info/

%{python3_sitelib}/%{name}-%{version}.dist-info/
