Current status

Targeted release: Fedora 26
Last updated: 2017-07-11
Tracker bug: #1421610

Detailed Description

A new comps packages group with Python development tools will be created and a new Lab (or Spin) for teaching Python or Python related topics will be available from labs.fedoraproject.org as well as from the Docker Hub and Vagrant Atlas.

A work in progress for the lab is available on GitHub.

The Lab will contain:

Python 3.6 including the python3-devel package
Python 2.7 including the python2-devel package
PyPy 3
tox
virtualenv
IPython console for both Python 2 and 3
Jupyter Notebook with Python 2 and 3 kernels (if this gets into Fedora in time)
offline documentation for Python 2 and 3
basic toolchain for building C and C++ extensions and valgrind
git
nano, vim, ssh client, curl, wget
devel packages for commonly used dependencies of packages on the Python Package Index
- libxml2-devel
- libyaml-devel
- ...

The Workstation based lab will also contain:

Basic GNOME
Terminal emulator
Text editor
PDF reader
Web browser
Image viewer
...and possibly other utilities

But it will not include multimedia and virtualization support, office suite, e-mail client.

Benefit to Fedora

One of the benefits of Fedora for Python developers is the ease of setting up Python development. This Fedora Lab will make it even easier for teachers and instructors to use Fedora in their classrooms or workshops. Ready to use operating system with important stuff pre-installed - either with GNOME or as a headless environment for Docker or Vagrant.

Scope

Proposal owners:
- create the comps group
- create kickstarts for live and vagrant variants
- create a layer for docker

Other developers:
- Design team: Create an image for labs.fedoraproject.org
- Websites team: Add the new Lab to labs.fedoraproject.org

Policies and guidelines: nothing

Trademark approval: approved

Upgrade/compatibility impact

nothing

How To Test

Live image

Download the latest Fedora 26 iso from Koji
Boot it on actual hardware or virtualized machine
Test if it boots, installs
Tests if it contains the tools described in the Detailed Description

Docker

Run sudo docker pull candidate-registry.fedoraproject.org/f26/python-classroom
Does it pull?
Run sudo docker run -ti candidate-registry.fedoraproject.org/f26/python-classroom
Does it start?
Tests if it contains the tools described in the Detailed Description

Vagrant

Download the most recent sucessfull Fedora 26 image from Koji
Run vagrant box add fedora/26-python-classroom ./Fedora-Python-Classroom-Vagrant-26-*.vagrant-virtualbox.box # or ...libvirt.box
Run vagrant init fedora/26-python-classroom
Run vagrant up --provider virtualbox # or libvirt Does it start?
Run vagrant ssh Does it SSH you in?
Tests if it contains the tools described in the Detailed Description

Preferably try it form other OSes as well. With both libvirt and virtualbox backends if possible.

Known issues

Vagrant: LANG and LC_ALL are set based on ssh client, but non-english locales are not there, co it falls back to C #1432426
All: All alternate Pythons are dragged by tox and that brings dependency on X #1412398

User Experience

The target audience will find Fedora Python Classroom Lab at labs.fedoraproject.org. The target audience will find fedora-python-classroom when running Docker or vagrant.

Dependencies

none

Contingency Plan

Contingency mechanism: Only deliver partial list of new deliverables. Or none.
Contingency deadline: beta freeze
Blocks release? No
Blocks product? No

Documentation

Nothing exists yet. Documentation will be added to the Fedora Developer Portal.
