 [x] Package is not relocatable.
 [x] Buildroot is correct
     master   : %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
     spec file: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)
 [x] Package is licensed with an open-source compatible license and meets other
legal requirements as defined in the legal section of Packaging Guidelines.
 [x] License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
     License type: Python
 [-] If (and only if) the source package includes the text of the license(s) in

 [x] Package is not known to require ExcludeArch.
 [x] All build dependencies are listed in BuildRequires, except for any that

 [-] Uses parallel make (%{?_smp_mflags})
 [x] Latest version is packaged.
 [-] Package does not include license text files separate from upstream.
 [-] Description and summary sections in the package spec file contains
translations for supported Non-English languages, if available.
 [x] Reviewer should test that the package builds in mock.
     Tested on: F10/i386
 [x] Package should compile and build into binary RPMs on all supported
architectures.
     Tested:  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1323045
 [?] Package functions as described.
 [-] Scriptlets must be sane, if used.
 [-] The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files is correct.
 [-] File based requires are sane.
 [x] Changelog in allowed format

=== ISSUES ===
- $RPM_BUILD_ROOT and %{buildroot} are mixed.
- The README says 'If zlib module is enabled, you can use compressed XML store
files.'. Would this be a nice option?
- Application crashed on my F10/i386 machine with this file:
http://paida.sourceforge.net/documentation/histogram/sampleHistogram3D.py

[fab at laptop24 ~]$ python sampleHistogram3D.py 
Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/threading.py", line 486, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/paida/paida_gui/tkinter/PRoot.py",
line 67, in run
    self._setRoot(Tk())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1636, in __init__
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive,
wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
TclError: out of stack space (infinite loop?)

The crash should be investigated by upstream and is not a blocker from my point
od view.  Perhaps it's only a handling error from my side.
