Python 3 templates

[sebix]

For python3 packages on opensuse, all occurences of python- have to be replaced with python3. See

We could do a simple replace if the major version is 3, and on the other hand we can create py3 and p2 templates, e.g. templates/3/opensuse.spec and templates/2/opensuse.spec and we chose the version based on the python-version which is running py2pack in that moment.

What would be the preferred method?

I don't know how this is handled in Fedora.

Or we could create py2 and py3 packages from a single spec.

good question. I guess the easiest way for now would be to create an extra template which can be used.

I don't know how this is handled in Fedora.

I think Fedora (and most other distros) build py2 and py3 packages from a single spec file (when possible). See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Example_common_spec_file

How to detect if a package supports both 2 and 3 (With the same codebase, which is not always the case)?

Also the easiest to do :)

For fedora we can adapt the template to the above, but without more knowledge about Fedora, I don't want to try it.

As we have different devel-projects for 2 and 3 in opensuse, that's not possible anyway.

Hello,
I have tried to update the template for Fedora to make it ready building both py2 and py3 subpackages.
Building of the py3 can be disabled easily by one define on the beginning of spec file.

@sebix given that this issue was about python3 for the opensuse template I close it because we have now singlespec support in py2pack (see #77 )
