The dependencies to python-colorama, python-ruama-yaml, setuptools are optional. See https://github.com/pyTooling/pyTooling/blob/main/setup.py#L56

Some hints for pyTooling:

• python-pyattributes is obsolete and can be listed as "replaces".

Any suggestions to improve the unit tests with respect to the usage of git as a commonly available complex binary for testing command line options? (pyTooling.CLIAbstraction is tested by executing Git)

One of the tests parses git command output which changes depending on the locale. I run into this when updating the ghdl package. Set LC_ALL to any non-english locale and you'll get the error. Arguably this is upstream's responsibility, but I'll leave that decision to you.

That said, I'm not a big fan of it either, but it's currently fairly standard practice to build aur packages on user systems without any containerization. As such, I would like your package (and by extension mine) to actually build properly.

Not generally a fan of working around unclean build environments, what's the issue that this fixes?

Might I recommend applying this patch:

I can't install this package. I also think it might be provided by python-pytooling already as there were conflicting files for terminalui. It fails with the following error:

As far as I understand, pytooling now includes terminalui. When trying to install both (for ghdl), then there's a file collision.

Also, pytooling 3.x is incompatible with 2.x, yet both cannot be installed at the same time. ghdl might break, depending on the version.
