Detailed Description
The latest Django release 2.0 finally drops support for Python 2.7. Not all dependent applications can keep up with Djangos pace. This change describes a way how to enable both, keeping 2.7 compatibility and also leveraging the latest version.
Benefit to Fedora
Fedora will be able to provide both: latest and current release and also a fallback for applications, which do not support Python3 yet.
Scope
- Proposal owners: drop Python2 subpackage from python-django, upgrade python-django to Django-2.0 and package Django-1.11.x for Python2 only.
- Other developers: Other developers, whose applications do work with Python3 and Django 2.0 will need to change the requirement to python3-django.
- Release engineering: #Releng issue number (a check of an impact with Release Engineering is needed)
- List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
- Policies and guidelines:
- Python packaging guidelines
- Documentation should be provided
- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)

How To Test
You should be able to install two web-apps, one requiring python2-django and one requiring python3-django. (TODO: provide actual package names)
- dnf install (package 1)
- see python2-django is installed as dependency
- run that package
- dnf install (package 2)
- verify python3-django is installed as dependency
- package 1 still works
- package 2 works as well
- dnf remove package 1
- package 2 still works
