Ok, a couple of workarounds for the errors until the pkgbuild gets fixed: python-dbus and python-gobject should be added as makedepends or installed beforehand. 

 sudo pacman -Syu python-dbus python-gobject
Also you need to install/upgrade pip to 9.0.3 to get past another error:¹ 
 sudo pacman -Syu python-pip 
 sudo pip install --upgrade pip
¹python-pip version 9.0.1 is on the repos at the time of this comment

Well. Thats the problem with "no-deps" like I said. I really don't understand what this limitation by the guidelines is good for and now removed "no-deps".

Next dependency error:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'future' distribution was not found and is required by pycaption

I guess that is related to the "no-deps" flag for pip. The wiki recommends it like I did: <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_package_guidelines#Installation_methods> Perhaps a better way would be to install the enum34 package explicitly. There is only a official "python2-enum34" package, but also "python-enum-compat" in aur. Didn't try though.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, i now get the next error:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'enum34' distribution was not found and is required by pycaption

I don't know which packet to install for this.

Besides that, you don't even need to copy the gnomecast_48.png icon. The svgs are already installed by the setup.py script.

Hi! I added both of the dependencies (guess I automatically had pip, pychromecast was already installed due to another packages dependency) and removed the icon-stuff. Please check if this works for you.

Thank you for adapting this package.

A few comments:

  • Please add python-pip to makedepends.
  • You can omit the whole icon copy stuff and the manual creation of the .desktop file as python setup.py install will install the correct icons and also a .desktop file. Simply delete the code from line 26 on.
  • Unfortunately there is still a python package missing. When i start the application, i receive the following error: pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'pychromecast' distribution was not found and is required by gnomecast

Ok, i will try to have a look although i'm also not experienced in python packaging. Anyone else?

mischka commented on 2018-02-23 15:09 (UTC)

Sorry, it requires another dependency in the AUR and I'm not interested in maintaining a package for a python library. I'm going to disown this, feel free to take it over.
