=== Python SIG FAS group ===
You can add [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packager/group::python-sig/ group::python-sig] to your package so the core members of the python-sig get notified on each bug in your python program. This way it is possible to maintain all python packages with the group permissions, which will simplify general python cleanup changes.
If there is interest and shown familiarity with our guidelines and processes (which usually manifests in maintaining at least 5 to 10 Python packages) you can apply for having access to a broader group of packages that is commonly maintained. If you choose to apply for this, please discuss it with a sponsor of the python-sig. (You can find a list of those [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/members/python-sig/*/sponsor in FAS].)
The current list of packages maintained by the python-sig can be found at the [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packager/group::python-sig/ package database].

=== 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. For Fedora 22 and later versions use [[dnf|DNF]]: <pre>dnf install rpmdevtools && rpmdev-newspec -t python</pre> Or in Fedora 21 and earlier versions: <pre>yum install rpmdevtools && rpmdev-newspec -t python</pre>  That will generate a spec file template that is a good starting point to making your package.
* When packaging PyPI project you can generate initial SPEC file using [https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/pyp2rpm pyp2rpm] tool.

Python Special Interest Group

A SIG for people who are interested in Python on Fedora. This includes:

Contact Info

Mailing List: python-devel
IRC: #fedora-python on irc.freenode.net

Python SIG FAS group

You can add group::python-sig to your package so the core members of the python-sig get notified on each bug in your python program. This way it is possible to maintain all python packages with the group permissions, which will simplify general python cleanup changes.

If there is interest and shown familiarity with our guidelines and processes (which usually manifests in maintaining at least 5 to 10 Python packages) you can apply for having access to a broader group of packages that is commonly maintained. If you choose to apply for this, please discuss it with a sponsor of the python-sig. (You can find a list of those in FAS.)

The current list of packages maintained by the python-sig can be found at the package database.

Packaging Quickstart

If you're just getting started with packaging python modules for Fedora, here's some hints to get you started:

  • The Fedora Packaging Guidelines must be followed for any package. The Python specific guidelines are a good starting point.
  • You can generate a spec template for your new python package like this. For Fedora 22 and later versions use DNF:

    That will generate a spec file template that is a good starting point to making your package.
  • When packaging PyPI project you can generate initial SPEC file using pyp2rpm tool.

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
