Python packages awaiting review
- List of most python packages awaiting review - Bugzilla query for packages which have not passed review with "python" in the name or summary.
- pynie - Python 3, on top of the Parrot virtual machine
Packaging Quickstart
If you're just getting started with packaging python modules for Fedora, here's some hints to get you started:
- The Packaging:Guidelines Fedora Packaging Guidelines must be followed for any package. The Packaging:Python Python specific guidelines are a good starting point.
- You can generate a spec template for your new python package like this:
yum install rpmdevtools && rpmdev-newspec -t python
. That will generate a spec file template that is a good starting point to making your package.
Package requests
- Chandler PIM - I don't think it is such hot idea ... upstream is pinning for the fjords, and after couple of years of non-development, it is not that advanced as it used to be.
- itools - A python library that includes several useful tools, such as an ODF anonymizer that can be used to sanitize confidential documents before attaching them tp bug reports
- python-multiprocessing - multiprocessing backport useful for EL-5 review request
- repoze.profile - WSGI profiling middleware
- tgscheduler - TurboGears scheduler
