[rosa-devel] python3 and rosa

[symbianflo at mandrivausers.ro]

Hi
I'd like to know if a pythonegg(module) is in main , same module but  
python3egg(module) can be forked in contrib?
I mean , we have a lot of missing or old/obsoletes  python3 modules, bur 
the same module for
abi 2.7 is in main, so is out of reach for me, now It is possible to 
have python3 in contrib?
Until you decide to switch to python3 as default python abi ?
For example we have an old ( 1.4.2) django module in main build on 2.7 
abi, I need a newer one maybe even
1.6.1 ( the last stable) to build it against 3.3 abi.
Now:

python3-django-haystack ?? Is it so? Maybe is just bloathing req?
a python3 module that req a python2 module... Or it's just because we 
DON'T HAVE PYTHON3-DJANGO?
I don't get it...
And why is django in main? Another thing that I don't get it...
What is so sensible  on this list that could justify main ?
I need a newer django in order to update all this modules, and also to 
fork 3.3 abi
modules.


About the approach of building python3 modules, I've talked with Denis 
and we both
agree that the most normal and clean way to do it is to branch in 
python3 and build them as
separate branch ( and not fedora's way to keep all on one spec and 
build&&install in pushd/popd ..)
Here also I'd like to know what the others are  thinking ( beside Denis 
:D , obviously )

Since more and more distros are switching to abi 3.3 as default I think 
we should have it , at least
in contrib, if not all 2.7 modules  at least 1/2 of them...

Please let me know what you decide.

PS:
I did not really care about python until now, just by mistake I've saw 
one of those
  statistics about published OSS apps sources in 2013, and  python && CO 
is something like
68% from the new entries , I think we should keep rosa up to speed if 
this is the trend,
even if personally I hate building in python ( I'm despicable ,ain't I ? 
...)

Greetings
