Additionally, packaging currently fails with stale wheels in the srcdir.

Could you please either clean these up with a git clean -fdx in prepare(), as is suggested by the ArchWiki, or create a separate directory for each version (i.e., include $pkgver in the source directory's name)?

Both makedeps are still missing!

@afontenot python-build and python-installer are both needed to build the pkg otherwise you'll fail at build() and package() respectively.

@afontenot thanks!

@humanfish451 If you haven't rebuilt xword-dl after updating your system to Python 3.13, you need to do that. See this discussion on the mailing list if there's any confusion about that: https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-general@lists.archlinux.org/thread/WZIPSAMAUEZZQGSH5HSEQDQGH6552WUD/

I'm getting this error when trying to run the program; potentially related to the below comment?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.13/importlib/metadata/__init__.py", line 407, in from_name
    return next(iter(cls.discover(name=name)))
StopIteration

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Hi,

Thank you for maintaining this package.

Please kindly remove the unneeded depends=python-importlib-metadata.

That is only required for old Python versions, as it is only a backport of current Python's importlib.metadata, already included in its standard library.

Thank you in advance!
