--- Comment #20 from Dave Malcolm <dmalcolm at redhat.com>  2009-10-20 19:45:09 EDT ---
I've had a go at merging Andrew and Ignacio's specfiles, using Andrew's
specfile as a base.  I've also attempted to address some of the issues already
raised in this review.

Specfile: http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3.spec
SRPM: http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3-3.1.1-2.fc11.src.rpm

To ease review, a diff from Andrew's 3.1.1-1 specfile to my 3.1.1-2 specfile
can be seen here:
http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/python3-from-3.1.1-1-to-3.1.1-2.diff

I wrote a custom __find_provides hook, filtering away paths matching
/usr/lib/python (which appears to require setting
_use_internal_dependency_generator to 0).  See
http://dmalcolm.fedorapeople.org/find-provides-without-python-sonames.sh

This successfully gets rid of the various _collectionsmodule.so etc provides
lines:
$ rpm -q --provides python3
python3 = 3.1.1-2.fc11
python3(x86-32) = 3.1.1-2.fc11
and thus my script to find collisions with the regular "python" rpms no longer
detects any "Provides" collisions .

Note that SONAME provides still work for regular libraries:
$ rpm -q --provides python3-libs
libpython3.1.so.1.0  
python3-libs = 3.1.1-2.fc11
python3-libs(x86-32) = 3.1.1-2.fc11

See the %changelog in the specfile for the other changes.

rpmlint output isn't clean yet (but it's getting late here):
