</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; I though that I can find more time to work on this week end, but
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; unfortunately it was not the case.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; The Mandriva doc is really not a good starter
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; (<A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Python_packaging_policy">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Python_packaging_policy</A>)
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; That's just a draft, but as the one that wrote the draft, could I
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; know what is wrong with what was written so far ?
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> nothing except it is just a draft ;)
</I>
Well, i just didn't think i had the authority to impose it, nor much
time to discuss it, so I never removed the draft label.

&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; so I propose to use the Fedora one
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; (<A HREF="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python</A>) with some cleaning.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; Can we provide  same macros as in In Fedora 13 and greater ?
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; Do you see any major problem with the Fedora policy ?
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; First they make plan for having more than one version of python, something
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; that I always told I will not do since no one stepped to do much to help
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; on the transition. In short, as long the python team will in practice be only me
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; ( and in practice, I mean &quot;people who effectivly commit&quot; ), we will have only 1 supported
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; version of the stack.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; ( I consider python 3 to be a different language, because of the
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; source level incompatibility ).
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; There is also the issue on bytecompilation ( <A HREF="https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=50484">https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=50484</A> ).
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; I have exposed there the various problem, and apart from explaining
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; that the solution I chosed was not better than the other, no one gave a compeling
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; argument into one or the others alternatives.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Finally, a vast part of the policy is handling 2to3, a topic that we didn't discuss
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; at all, and I would not be confortable to adopt it without first looking at it and
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; discussing it.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Not to mention that our policy draft speak of thing they do not include
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; ( like naming policy, for a start ).
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> No problem, I understand perfectly
</I>&gt;<i> so let start with the Mandriva draft
</I>
We can merge part of their policy , I am not against it, I just think we
should not adopt everything :)
