Python 2.6
Summary
Include Python 2.6 in Fedora
Owner
- Name: Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 11
- Last updated: 2008-12-01
- Percentage of completion: 30%
Detailed Description
Python 2.6 was released on October 1, 2008, too close to the release of Fedora 10 to be included in it.
Benefit to Fedora
Fedora is about pushing the boundaries, and having Python 2.6 as a transitional release on the path to Python 3000 is no exception.
Scope
The python package and all dependent packages must be rebuilt and test, and fixed/upgraded where necessary.
How To Test
- Install python and dependent packages from the dist-f11-python koji repo
- Test functionality of the dependent packages
User Experience
- Users should not notice any difference, other than the availability of the 2.6 interpreter
Dependencies
- (list too large to include here; around 1000 packages)
Contingency Plan
- Omit packages that don't rebuild/work properly
Documentation
