Hello Fedorans and especially Pythonistas,

The Python Maintenance team from Red Hat just submitted a proposal [1] for a hackfest on Nest with Fedora [2].

With the new Python packaging guidelines [3], changes of your spec files are necessary to benefit from all the new fancy stuff, such as automatically generated build (incl. test) requires, packaging packages that use poetry or flit, using tox in %check or semi-automatically generating the %files section.

On this hackfest, we plan to be available for you for half a day either on Thursday, August 5 or Friday, August 6. You hop on or hop off to Hopin as needed, ask us questions in the chat or via audio/video and we'll try our best to help you get started with the new tools and macros.

Please, let the Nest organizers know in the ticket [1] if you are interested, so they can make a better decision whether to include this hackfest or not.

See you on Nest either way!
