< Features | Python 2.7
Goal
The goal is to rebuild every Fedora Python package before the Fedora 14 Feature Freeze (July 27th).
Driving Features
From an RPM metadata perspective, the relevant packages contain:
- various files below /usr/lib{64}/python-2.6, which need to move to /usr/lib{64}/python-2.7
- a
Requires: python(abi) = 2.6, which must become aRequires: python(abi) = 2.7
From an implementation perspective, the bytecode format for .pyc and .pyo files has changed, and the C ABI for extension modules has likely changed as well, necessitating a recompile of all of these
Schedule
