Hey,

when RHEL 7.7 will be released, the following new components/packages will be provided (assuming from 7.7 beta):

python3 - the Python 3.6 package

This new RHEL7 component builds several subpackages, all obsoleting the subpackages of epel7 python36 package. We will simply retire python36 from epel7.

python-rpm-macros

This new RHEL7 component is a drop-in replacement of python-rpm-macros from epel7, we will simply retire the package. python-epel-rpm-macros already provide the necessary macros for python34 in epel7.

python3-setuptools

This new RHEL7 component produces the python3-setuptools package that obsoletes the python36-setuptools package (built from the python3-setuptools epel7 component).

We cannot simply retire python3-setuptools from epel7, as it also builds python34-setuptools in epel7 and there is no replacement for that in RHEL7.

Easiest thing would be to stop building python36-setuptools and only keep python34-setuptools in epel7, however IIRC we cannot have the same component name as in RHEL. If that is indeed the case, python3-setuptools needs to be retired and a new python34-setuptools component needs to be created in epel7. Is my assumption correct?

python-pip

This new RHEL7 component produces the python3-pip package that obsoletes the python36-pip package (built from the python-pip epel7 component).

The python-pip epel7 component also produces python34-pip and python2-pip (neither available in RHEL 7.7).

If my previous assumption about components with RHEL names is correct, we need 1 or 2 new components for python34-pip and python2-pip - either we have each in a separate component or we create a new component that builds both (called python-pip-epel maybe?).

python-wheel

This new RHEL7 component produces the python3-wheel package.

The python-wheel epel7 component produced python-wheel package (Python 2).

The epel7 package was adapted to produce python2-wheel and python36-wheel, however there was no successful build of this in epel7.

If my previous assumption about components with RHEL names is correct, we need to add a new python2-wheel component to epel7.

---

Are my assumptions correct?

If we indeed need new packages/components, I can help to create them, but I do not intent to maintain them. Any takers?
