PyPI article originally from Fedora Magazine

[Adam Samalik]

Hi all,

I have a post [1] I'd like to publish at the Community Blog.

It's is a post by Petr Hracek originally submitted to Fedora Magazine. The
editorial board has agreed it’s more community focused, and we thought that
publishing it here would be a better fit. What do you think?

Before publishing it, we'd need to change the author to be Petr Hracek
(phracek).

Thanks,
Adam

Hi Adam, Petr. Would you like a quick review from a fellow Pythonista?

If so, could you enable public preview or send me the text via a side 
channel?

Thanks.

I think that would be really helpful!

Sorry I thought that link was already public. This one should work:

Thanks!

Couple notes:

* Github is spelled GitHub (you are using both)
  * PyPi is spelled PyPI (also mixing it)

Where do I push this secret repo? Advise not to push it as public maybe?

Maybe don't list near eol fedora as an example?

Foooo, legacy Python projects should IMHO not by endorsed by Fedora like 
this. Pick a Python 3 ready example? Add a notice that Python 3 support 
is being work on (is it?)?

What requirements.txt? Where do I install it? How?

How to deploy **with** release-bot?

Also, at this part of the article, I have no clue what so ever what the 
bot actually does.

I fail to understand what does "release in Fedora" mean.

Where do I run the bot? Why don't I use some kind of CI serveice that 
deos this for me:

I push a git tag => it runs the test, makes a release on PyPI, makes a 
release in Fedora (whatever that means).

Maybe describe better what the bot actually does. E.g. it is hooked to 
GitHub issues and waits for some kind of instructions? What are those 
instructions? What will the bot actually do when it follows those 
instructions? Does the bot run on OpenShift as a service?
