blueprint-compiler is a build dependency

When running, it fails for me with AttributeError: type object 'ViewSwitcherPolicy' has no attribute 'AUTO':

Woah, that was fast! Thank you!

The package doesn't build at the moment. Seems like the fix for issue 104 is not in 1.0.

Here's an updated PKGBUILD:

    for f in "" -O;
    do
        python $f -m compileall . --invalidation-mode checked-hash -d "$_ddir"

}

build() {
    arch-meson "$pkgname-$pkgver" build

    meson compile -C build
}

package() {

}

And here's the patch to add:

There's a bug that results in authentication problems,

Error authorizing Reddit client after retry, quitting…

Current workaround is to trim #_ from end of url

webkit2gtk needs to be added as a dependency. Giara throws an error and doesn't launch without it.

@nobicycle It appears that you're using mistune from pip. The pacman version is older and still has Renderer in mistune.py. It has been deleted almost 2 years ago https://github.com/lepture/mistune/commit/31a35a6ba58dfc030773f0821296f61630afe60e

Thanks for packaging.
