Since imp module was deprecated and finally replaced by importlib in python 12 virtualsmartcard package has to be updated accordingly. Here is a quick fix:

build() {
  cd "$srcdir"/$pkgname-$pkgver
  sed -i "s/import sys, os, py_compile, imp/import sys, os, py_compile, importlib as imp/" ./py-compile
  ./configure --prefix=/
  make PYTHON="/bin/python3"
}

py_compile script still uses imp, which breaks installation phase

package() fails with missing module imp.
Maybe a missing (make)dependency?:

Please update PKGBUILD, this one fixes issue with incorrect python module installation path
