During that time, epel5 /usr/bin/bugzilla has been completely busted due to a
python2.5-ism:

It took 3 months for anyone to file a bug which leads me to believe that there
aren't enough epel5 users to hold up taking this patch.
Ralph and/or Toshio, can you clarify a couple things for me?
1) How can I test future changes to make sure they work on both python2 and
python3?
I'll let ralph answer this one.
2) If packaging this new version for epel6, I'd need to add a dep
on python26
and python-six. How to ensure that python-bugzilla is only used with python26
in that case? (or does python26 basically replace the stock RHEL6 python version?)
For epel6, the system python is at version 2.6 already so no worries there.
For epel5, you'd need to package a separate python26-bugzilla package. That
package will build and install into the python2.6/site-packages directory
and you'd change the requires to use python2.6 instead of python.
There's some information here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Python26 and
I'd probably also take a look at some of the packages that are already
submitted.
Also cc-ing wwoods, the main man in python-bugzilla land. Will, any
issues
with taking this patch soon-ish?
Thanks,
Cole
