Hey, @vitaliikuzhdin - thank you for a really good report. I've applied your suggestions. The PKGBUILD you pasted compiles after patching over TextIOWrapper from RustPython, see: https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython/issues/4072

Also, leaving this here for someone to pick up once it finally works: https://pastebin.com/Va7WFRxw

Please remove provides and conflicts; every package implicitly provides itself. Also, rust should not be in makedepends, since cargo is already included.

On a side note, do you know if byte-compiling the built-in *.py files is necessary? The original python package does it, and without it, rustpython encounters quite a few (non-critical?) errors:

I was able to mitigate these errors by locally modifying the PKGBUILD to byte-compile the $_rustpythonpath.
