At least on EL8, python2 will be supported for a number of
years still. Obviously, moving to python3 is still the wise
plan. :)
mock is used to do the builds.
Here is what happens with I do the dnf install:
# dnf install -y ods-python-pylint

Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides /usr/bin/python needed by ods-python-pylint-1.9.3-2.noarch
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest'
to use not only best candidate packages)
And this is what rpm thinks are the requirements:
$ rpm -qpR ods-python-pylint-1.9.3-2.noarch.rpm
ods-python-astroid
ods-python-backports.functools_lru_cache
ods-python-configparser
ods-python-enum34
ods-python-futures
ods-python-isort
ods-python-lazy-object-proxy
ods-python-mccabe
ods-python-singledispatch
ods-python-wrapt
python(abi) = 2.7
python2
python2-six
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadIsXz) <= 5.2-1
Anyone know where is the /usr/bin/python coming from or how I can debug this?
I would guess it's from a shebang in one of the scripts
within the package. But I don't know what's in the
ods-python-pylint package so I can only guess.
