Python Special Interest Group

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

Contact Info

Mailing List for general discussions: 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.

To apply for the group, please apply:

Unfortunately, this python-sig group is restricted because there are also security sensitive mails send out. As this process is currently in alpha phase, we will update this section, when it is clearer how to join the python-sig...

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

Python packages awaiting review

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:
    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
