[ClusterLabs Developers] Python dependency in Fedora's pacemaker SPEC unnecessary?

[Tomas Radej]

Hi,

I was wondering why there's an explicit "Python >= 2.4" requirement in
the pacemaker SPEC file in Fedora (line 68 in F23 and Rawhide). I
analysed the RPMs and found no *.py files, binary extensions, or Python
executables in the main package, which suggests that the requirement is
no longer necessary.

If that's indeed the case, I'd like to ask you to include the patch
below in the F23 and Rawhide branches in Fedora. It now appears to be
the only change in pacemaker that is necessary for the "Python 3 as
Default" change in Fedora to proceed. The CTS package can remain based
on Python 2 for the time being as it is not included in the Fedora base
images.

Patch:
