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.

( also mention the rewheel patch )

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/
