(@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.

@doskoi: Why have you written that pycryptodome is not required? Without it gplaycli doesn't run at all.

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'pycryptodome' distribution was not found and is required by gpapi

python-pycryptodome, python-pyopenssl, python-requests, python-protobuf and python-clint are not required.

gplaycli demands specific gpapi versions and besides that, the upstream has made a couple of typos in the past that caused wrong package versions to be reported or requested, effectively breaking gplaycli for prolonged periods of time. All in all, gplaycli in AUR often doesn't work without patching upstream sources for either gplaycli or python-gpapi.

@fordprefect, I'm using gplaycli regularly and I'm more than willing to co-maintain or take over both gplaycli and python-gpapi if you wish.

@kyak: I have the same issue, even when gpapi 0.4.1 is installed. I am quite low on time atm, but will try to take this upstream…

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'gpapi==0.4.1' distribution was not found and is required by GPlayCli

gpapi 0.4.2 from AUR is installed here..

Issue is under investigation (upstream bug report opened).
Meanwhile I switched over to non-git versioned dependency for pyaxmlparser (minor change).

@fordprefect: Yes, I am on version local/gplaycli 3.10-1
