Python packaging guidelines example spec file

[Brad Bell]

How does one run rpmbuild -ba on the the Pello example in the python packaging guidelines
?

The Pello.spec file appears under the heading Example spec file at:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_exampl...

In Pello.spec, the following lines appear:

Version:        1.0.3
URL:            https://github.com/fedora-python/Pello
Source: %{url}/archive/v%{version}/Pello-%{version}.tar.gz

This indicates that the web address for the upstream source is
https://github.com/fedora-python/Pello/archive/v1.0.3/Pello-1.0.3.tar.gz

I placed Pello.spec in my SPECS directory, Pello-1.0.3.tar.gz in my SOURCES directory,
and executed the command
     rmpbuild -ba SPECS/Pello.spec
from the rpmbuild directory and got the following result:
... snip ...
Requirement satisfied: setuptools>=42
    (installed: setuptools 59.6.0)
Handling wheel from build-system.requires
Requirement not satisfied: wheel
Exiting dependency generation pass: build backend
+ RPM_EC=0
++ jobs -p
+ exit 0
error: Failed build dependencies:
         python3dist(wheel) is needed by python-pello-1.0.3-1.fc36.noarch
...

Because the guidelines say pyhon3-devel needs to be list in BuildRequires,
I checked that it is installed on my system:

rpmbuild>sudo dnf install python3-devel
...

Package python3-devel-3.10.9-1.fc36.x86_64 is already installed.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

Why not install the dependency that rpmbuild reports is missing?

sudu dnf install 'python3dist(wheel)'

or

sudo dnf builddep SPECS/Pello.spec

Also, this really isn't a question for the packaging list - which is all 
about developing guidelines, for more appropriate on the general Fedora 
development list.

This worked. I also had to install
sudo dnf install  'python3dist(tox-current-env)'

I tried this but just got the response

rpmbuild>sudo dnf builddep SPECS/Pello.spec

I will switch my future questions about building rpms to the development list.

This does not work with packages using

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DynamicBuildRequires

(Like this one.)

Generally, I advise using mock for such packages over rmpbuild -ba.

It would be nice if the Pello example had a package and people could:
     fedpkg co Pello
     cd Pello
     fedpkg mockbuild
