I made no changes, answered your question, the info is in the PR. 👍

I was playing around with this and this worked for me...

check      : |
    # Skip test_tzinfo.py tests - incompatible with system zoneinfo (expect bundled data)
    %python3_test pytest3 --ignore=pytz/tests/test_tzinfo.py

[EbonJaeger]

Isn't that basically the same as disabling all tests? Or am I thinking of a different file?

[Jaredy899]

Yeah you're right. It does test two other files, docs.py and lazy.py but they're pretty inconsequential for the purpose of the package. So never mind!

[EbonJaeger]

Fwiw, I also looked at this a few days ago, but I don't know why the tests fail. I don't really see what we're doing different in our packages than Fedora or Arch that would affect it.

[androidnisse]

So can this go into now without tests or?

[Staudey]

Interestingly I'm also seeing pytz test failures when trying to update python-orjson, but that is with the version currently in the repository

edit: Also fails with the old version of python-orjson, so something has changed since the last update that makes the pytz output wonky.

edit2: Ah, just saw that something close to this behaviour was already mentioned in this discussion

[Jaredy899]

How about this? The package is testing against the patch, which is isn't expecting. This way it tests with what comes bundled.

check      : |
    export PYTZ_TZDATADIR=pytz/zoneinfo
    %python3_test pytest3

[EbonJaeger]

That wouldn't really be testing the package, though, since we're patching it to use the system stuff. Given Fedora also disables the tests that fail with their version of timezone stuff, which I guess is somehow different from ours, we might as well just disable the tests. The last time I went down this rabbit hole, the upstream recommendation for projects is to use the built-in Python APIs in Python 3.9+ and not to use pytz. My ideal solution to all this would be to nuke the package, but I don't think all the other reverse dependencies have transitioned to the Python API yet.
