Thanks for the heads-up. The PKGBUILD has been updated with the new build system as per ilovemikael's post from earlier (with bonus makedeps python-hatchling, because apparently python now requires not just three but four different packages, to do the extremely complex task of moving some files into the right directories and creating a six-line shim exe to put in /bin).

This package can't upgrade, the setup.py no longer exist, it has been replaced. [ https://github.com/trehn/termdown/commit/b5e0a1d1e3f3083abc5c0f264b7002b7067b0f3a ] A bit new to AUR, I don't know if I should be flagging this out of date, but I think it should be since the upstream changed in such a way this BUILDPKG will not work with current git source given. I think it's maybe an easy fix, have a great day.

Thank you. Until setup.py stops working, I don't really see the point to add three more makedepends to do the same thing as before, but I will refer to this when it becomes necessary.

hi, since it's been deprecated for a number of years, maybe it would be good to switch from invoking setup.py directly to using python-build and installer?

All you need to do to migrate is add a build() function which runs python -m build --wheel --no-isolation, replace package()'s action with python -m installer --destdir="$pkgdir" dist/*.whl, and add 'python-build', 'python-installer', and 'python-wheel' to makedepends (no need to remove any existing deps) =).

python-pyfiglet should be replaced with python-art: https://github.com/trehn/termdown/commit/c94d388a3e2fff27128e5df510eb626caaeeb588

Does what it says on the tin. +1

It's probably related to the recent python 3.6 to 3.7 upgrade. I bumped up the pkgver to make sure the package gets rebuilt on your machine, that should fix it.

linduxed, you have to rebuild the package, not just reinstall it.

As of a week or two, I'm getting the following error:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'termdown==1.14.1' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Other problems with AUR-packages that use Python have been occurring for me lately, but those have been resolved by simply reinstalling the package (probably some library placement issue). This method does not work with this package.
