Unable to build because try to use __python3 macro

[Kike Escorihuela Navarro]

HI, I'm trying to use the module to build some rpm in a machine with python2.7 installed vía software collections http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL with this command:

pyp2rpm -n Babel -b 27-python --srpm

and then rebuild it with:

rpmbuild --rebuild rpmbuild/SRPMS/python27-python-Babel-1.3-1.el6.src.rpm

but I get this error:

• cd Babel-1.3
• '%{__python3}' setup.py build /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.fdZaGH: line 28: fg: no job control error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.fdZaGH (%build)

RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.fdZaGH (%build)

Why is trying to use %{__python3} macro?

the complete output is in the file attached.

Hello, thank you for your report.

It's actually a bug in a method python_bin_for_python_version in pyp2rpm/filters.py, I will fix that altough it will not help your use case.

The proper workflow for you to generate srpm for software collections would be:

1. generate and save spec file with pyp2rpm, if you want a srpm for python27 collection use pyp2rpm -n Babel -b 2 > ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/python-babel.spec, edit specfile if needed
2. transform and save spec file with spec2scl tool https://bitbucket.org/bkabrda/spec2scl spec2scl ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/python-babel.spec > ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/python-babel.spec
3. build srpm rpmbuild -bs ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/python-Django.spec --define 'scl python27'
4. build rpm, I suggest using mock, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27187386/error-while-building-a-package-for-python33-or-for-other-software-collection
