how to include a .so file in my python rpm
by Erik Blankinship 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

In my python application, I need to include a .so binary I built of a custom gstreamer plugin. My python application works fine with this plugin when launching from the command line. Now that I am packaging my python application into a fedora rpm, I need to compile the plugin as part of the packaging process? I ask because when I try to include the .so file in %files and part of the manifest, I get this error from rpmbuild: "arch dependent binaries in noarch package" Could someone point me to an example of how to create a spec file which shows how to include "nested" c code so as to avoid this error and successfully build my rpm? Thanks much. Erik

how to include lots of media assets into a python rpm?
by Erik Blankinship 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

I have a lot of media assets to include in my python rpm. I am confused as to the best way to include these files in my rpm. Here is my setup: setup.py sun.py gfx/sun_1.png gfx/sun_2.png gfx/sun_3.png gfx/core/core_1.png gfx/core/core_2.png ... gfx/core/core_99.png I list everything I want to include in my manifest.in file with: recursive-include gfx *.png and when I make a source tar.gz ( via python setup.py bdist --format=rpm ) all of the media assets are included in the resultant tar.gz bundle. Then I move the source tar.gz into ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/ and then I run rpmbuild -ba SunnyApp.spec Unfortunately, none of the gfx are transfered over. However, if I modify my setup.py as follows: from setuptools import find_packages pkgs = find_packages( ) setup( name='SunnyApp', ... data_files=[ ('SunnyApp/gfx', ['gfx/sun_1.png', 'gfx/sun_2.png'] ), ('SunnyApp/gfx/core', ['gfx/core/core_1.png', 'gfx/core/core_2.png'] ) ], ... packages=pkgs, .... ) Only those files that I list make it into the rpm (in this case sun_1.png, sun_2.png, core_1.png, core_2.png) Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a way to include *.png for all subdirectories in gfx. Is there a way to include lots of files with a pattern when calling rpmbuild? I am not sure how to use package_data to list wildcards because of how I am using packages=find_packages( ) Any suggestions? Thanks much.

best practices for python applications targeting f11 gnome on the olpc xo
by Erik Blankinship 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

What would be the best practice for python applications targeting f11 gnome on the olpc xo? I am developing on f13, but my target is f11 (an olpc xo machine) running python 2.6. The rpms I am generating have the name: SunnyApp-1.1-1.fc13.noarch.rpm Two things here stand out to me (the very new rpm packager) which suggest I have not done a great job targeting my platform. 1. fc13 2. noarch I would like to make sure the rpms are as compatible as possible with that platform. Also, I have some code in my application which is python 2.6 specific -- is there a way to designate/enforce that in the file to ensure it runs smoothly? Thank you!

packing an rpm without source code?
by Erik Blankinship 24 Jan '11

Can someone point me at an example of how to package a fedora python rpm without the source code (only the .pyc or .pyo files)? Would I make this change in my spec file? Thank you for your help.

Hi all, I can't find any doc of rpm-python. If you have one, could you send a copy to me? Thanks a lot~

FYI: Python-2.7 distutils incompatibility
by Toshio Kuratomi 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

I mentioned this to dmalcolm as a possible bug on IRC and as I figured out what's going on I felt I should share with others that might run into this. In python-2.7, an incompatibility was introduced in what is allowed to be in a setup.py file. A setup.py looks something like this:: #!/usr/bin/python -tt # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from distutils.core import setup setup(name='test', version='1.0', description='Test', author='Toshio Kuratomi', author_email='toshio(a)fp.o', license='MIT', url='http://localhost/', download_url='http://localhost/', keywords='test', classifiers=[ 'Development Status :: 3 - Alpha', ], ) In python-2.7, the values of those entries to the setup function cannot be unicode strings. They must be byte strings (str type). This is true even if the value is all ASCII. For instance, this is invalid:: setup(name=u'test', [...] Although this is a change in behaviour from earlier python versions, it is now a documented behaviour (see the notes section of this link: http://docs.python.org/distutils/setupscript.html#additional-meta-data ) so it's not a bug, it's a feature ;-) -Toshio

I've imported pypy and built it into rawhide. I've updated the list on: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Python#Python_Runtimes moving it from "Awaiting review" to "Within Fedora". Enjoy! Dave
