Python Wheels in fedora
Starting with Fedora 22, Python packages will have the option to install itself into buildroot via Python wheels.[1] Wheels are the new binary distribution format for python modules, note that as such they are not suitable for use as Source archive.
Unless you have a good reason to use this method of installation, please use the one specified in Packaging:Python. Installing with wheels currently uses a fedora-specific pip option[2] that upstream may eventually implement differently.
The text below describes the minimal specfile changes needed, if installation with wheel is desired.
BuildRequires
The package has to BuildRequire python?-pip and python?-wheel:
BuildRequires: python2-pip BuildRequires: python2-wheel BuildRequires: python3-pip BuildRequires: python3-wheel
Build section
The package has to use the bdist_wheel command, which creates a wheel file in the dist directory. A minimal build section thus becomes:
%py2_build_wheel %py3_build_wheel
Install section
Tha package has to use pip to install the newly created wheel. A minimal install section thus becomes:
%py2_install_wheel dist/%{python2_wheelname}
%py3_install_wheel dist/%{python3_wheelname}
When packaging pure python packages python?_wheelname should be defined as
%global python2_wheelname %{srcname}-%{version}-py2.py3-none-any.whl
%global python3_wheelname %python2_wheelname
For packages that include any extension modules or C libraries python?_wheelname should be defined as
%global python2_wheelname %{srcname}-%{version}-cp%{python2_version_nodots}-none-linux_%{_target_cpu}.whl
%global python3_wheelname %{srcname}-%{version}-cp%{python3_version_nodots}-none-linux_%{_target_cpu}.whl
The --strip-file-prefix option is currently downstream only modification that strips given prefix from file names in wheel RECORD.[3]
Files section
Unless covered by an already existing glob, you also need to add the following entries to the files section:
%{python2_sitelib}/%{name}-%{version}.dist-info/
%{python3_sitelib}/%{name}-%{version}.dist-info/
