Goal

The goal is to rebuild every Fedora Python package before the Fedora 14 Feature Freeze (July 27th).

Driving Features

From an RPM metadata perspective, the relevant packages contain:

  • various files below /usr/lib{64}/python-2.6, which need to move to /usr/lib{64}/python-2.7
  • a Requires: python(abi) = 2.6, which must become a Requires: python(abi) = 2.7

From an implementation perspective, the bytecode format for .pyc and .pyo files has changed, and the C ABI for extension modules has likely changed as well, necessitating a recompile of all of these
