Renaming packages is actually not that easy...is that name too confusing?

np. You forgot to name the package python-rshell.

Thanks for your tips!

Why do you have python3 in makedepends but python in depends? Just use python for both.

rshell uses a source package so you can just use https:// files.pythonhosted.org/packages/source/${_name::1}/$_name/$_name-$pkgver.tar.gz in the PKGBUILDs source array.

See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_package_guidelines

This would be my recommended PKGBUILD:

$ diff PKGBUILD.old PKGBUILD.new

< pkgver=0.0.24
---
> pkgname=python-rshell
> _name=${pkgname#python-}
> provides=(rshell)
> conflicts=(rshell)
> pkgver=0.0.26

You forgot the python-udev dependency. It breaks when trying to open
