Can you please add 'python-asn1crypto' to the dependencies? Without it gplaycli crashes, returning errors including: The 'asn1crypto>=0.24.0' distribution was not found and is required by pyaxmlparser

you are right. Working and package maintenance and VC in parallel seems not to be efficient. Noted, thanks for your patience!

@fordperfect: Sorry, I don´t mean to bother you further but it seems you forgot to update the md5sum.

whoops, sorry. Thanks for pointing that out.

@fordperfect:
Wow, that was fast! Thanks!

One minor issue, though: You replaced the wrong line in gplaycli.install.
It should read:

echo 'Standard config is found in "/usr/share/gplaycli/config"'
echo 'copy it to "$HOME/.local/etc/gplaycli/gplaycli.conf" or "/etc/gplaycli/gplaycli.conf"'

Again, thanks for your effort!

@6arms1leg: thank you for you well thought out and explained comment, I have adapted every change you suggested. pkgrel bump ommitted to avoid unnecessary rebuilds, since nothing in the package changed.

gplaycli would not run without installing python-cryptography. I believe it is a missing dependency.
If so, could you please add it to the dependency list?

Also, I find the post_install message "copy it to $HOME/.config/gplaycli to use standard credentials" misleading. Following that instruction I get:

[WARNING] No configuration file gplaycli.conf found at ['/home/sixarms1leg', '/home/sixarms1leg/.local/etc/gplaycli', '/usr/local/etc/gplaycli', '/etc/gplaycli'], using default values
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'token.cache'
[...]

Where the first path is not necessarily my home directory but the current working directory. So without a valid gplaycli.conf under $HOME/.local/etc/gplaycli/ the program will not start.
Would you mind changing the message to "copy it to '$HOME/.local/etc/gplaycli/gplaycli.conf' or '/etc/gplaycli/gplaycli.conf'" or something similar?

Lastly, the description text of this package is grammatically incorrect and difficult to understand.
I would suggest to simply use the original short description from GitHub: "GPlayCli is a command line tool to search, install, update Android applications from the Google Play Store."

That said, many thanks for maintaining this package! I really appreciate your effort!

(@doskoi writes below it's not required; it is indeed gpapi that needs it.. but gpapi is (now at least) included in the sources here. Perhaps I'm missing something, but installing just this package is insufficient to get even the usage out of gplaycli; installing python-protobuf is also required.)

You're right. Thanks for clarification.

@kecef: It's python-gpapi that requires it, not gplaycli.
