Please implement installing udev rules files provided by the developer, mentioned in the installation guide (https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/blob/main/README-INSTALL.md). I tested like this:

package() {
  cd "$_pkgsrc"
  python -m installer --destdir="$pkgdir" dist/*.whl

  # udev rules
  install -Dm644 Setup/Linux/*.rules -t "$pkgdir/usr/lib/udev/rules.d"
}

You need to change the license identifier to be SPDX compliant: 

mtkclient E: GPL3 is not a valid SPDX license identifier. See https://spdx.org/licenses/ for valid identifiers, or prefix the identifier with 'LicenseRef-', if it is custom.

Regards and thanks for the package!

@taotieren, this won't work because install scripts are run as root.
