I.e. when %python3_pkgversion is 3.12, %__python3 is /usr/bin/python3.12
We assume that when packagers pacakge for Python 3.X, they want to change both
%python3_pkgversion and %__python3 value.
Hence instead of copy-pasting this:
%global python3_pkgversion 3.X
%global __python3 /usr/bin/python3.X
They just need to do:
%global python3_pkgversion 3.X
Packagers who want to change the value of %__python3 without touching
%python3_pkgversion can still do it:
%global __python3 /usr/bin/pypy3

This allows us to maintain our own BuildRoot Policy scripts in an easier way.
This change needs to be coordinated with the removal of the files from redhat-rpm-config.
redhat-rpm-config requires python-srpm-macros, so no change is expected for the packagers.
The %{? in the comment made the entire block of macros not work.
Since nobody actually used those on Fedora, because they did not exist,
we can safely remove them. No need to document this in the %changelog.
This allows e.g.:
%global extras cli,ghostwriter,pytz,dateutil,lark,numpy,pandas,pytest,redis,zoneinfo,django
%{pyproject_extras_subpkg -n python3-hypothesis %{extras}}
...
%pyproject_buildrequires -x %{extras}
(Note that %pyproject_extras_subpkg is a tiny wrapper around %python_extras_subpkg.)
This only works for package and extra names less than 79 characters long.
I don't expect many actual packages to exceed this limit.
78 characters should be enough for everybody.
Why 78? 79 is the line-lenght limit from rpmlint.
And we need to put punctuation in there.
By default, %{py3_dist foo} generates python3dist(foo).
This change makes it respect %python3_pkgversion so when
it is redefined as X.Y, %{py3_dist foo} generates pythonX.Y(foo).
See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/PythonMacroError
While doing it, make %python macros more consistent with %python3 macros,
mostly wrt whitespace but also to use python -m pip over plain pip etc.
One significant change is the removal of sleeps from python macros,
this could affect packages that use python macros to build for Python 2
while also using python3 macros to build for Python 3.
In reality, I consider that unlikely. The sleep in python2 macros stays.
The --strip-file-prefix option was already removed from %pyX_install_wheel
but we forgot to remove it from %py_install_wheel.
- Hardcode the default Python 3 version in the SRPM macros
- Provide python38-foo for python3-foo and the other way around (future RHEL compatibility)

$ rpm --eval '%python_provide python38-setuptools'
Provides: python-setuptools = %{version}-%{release}
Provides: python3-setuptools = %{version}-%{release}
Obsoletes: python-setuptools < %{version}-%{release}
$ rpm --eval '%python_provide python3-setuptools'
Provides: python-setuptools = %{version}-%{release}
Provides: python38-setuptools = %{version}-%{release}
Obsoletes: python-setuptools < %{version}-%{release}
$ rpm --eval '%python_provide python39-setuptools'
$ rpm --define 'python3_pkgversion 39' --eval '%python_provide python%{python3_pkgversion}-setuptools'
To make the implementation of %python_provide easier,
any names starting with "python" or "pypy" are recognized as valid arguments.
Previously, this was an ERROR:
$ rpm --eval '%python_provide pythonista'
%python_provide: ERROR: pythonista not recognized.
Now it is a no-op. The behavior was never documented and the change is
backwards compatible for working spec files.
Adds the %pypi_source macro, as well as %__pypi_url and
%__pypi_default_extension. This should make references to sources in
PyPI much simpler for nearly all Python packages.
