Done.

Thanks for adopting and updating this. There are still a number of outstanding packaging issues though. Please find below a patch you can apply with git am < file.patch that covers issues including:

• Save source to unique name that won't cause srcdir cache conflicts
• Quote variable expansions that may include spaces such as $pkgdir
• Drop obsolete direct calls to setup.py in favor of PEP517 compatible shim (see new Arch Python package guidelines)
• Move non-runtime dependencies to makedepends
• Remove unused patching cruft
• Drop redundant version lock (min supported Arch version is 1.4 anyway)

2.35.1

This package requires extra/python-setuptools as a dependency. Fails on my system (x86_64, 4.16.13-2-ARCH).
