I hope it'll be enough to just test the single test with nosetests, when I'll
update ipython... ipython-0.13 will come in the next month and don't know yet,
if I'll do a f17 update too.

> HISTORY.txt comes from upstream. Should I patch it to say 0.7-2.20120414git?

0.7 wasn't released yet as in setup.py is this:
"version = '0.7dev'"
and commit d404542e says:
"Back to development: 0.7"
and there is no tag, that says 0.7
and there are no downloads available with version 0.7

This means you are shipping an unreleased version and therefore need the proper
pre-release naming convention:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Pre-Release_packages


Why aren't you using the released 0.6.2?
It seems run{,call,eval} and the python3 support are new since then.


It would be great to ask upstream, what license exactly is meant with GPL as
"GPL" seems to be bad:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:LicensingGuidelines#GPL_and_LGPL

As upstream doesn't add a LICENSE/COPYING file, it's a SHOULD anyway to ask
them to add one...
