Finally, I almost gave up on this.

Finally the Flet dependency was updated upstream. No need to mess around with custom Flet and flutter versions!!

Now everything works on the latest versions of its dependencies!

This is an upstream bug. This package depends on ancient versions of Flet and Flutter which makes it impossible to build it anymore.

Install fails because python-flet-0-7-x is broken (the dependency flutter-3-16-9 does not exist)

There's now a desktop shortcut. You can run it by searching for "kintree" on the application list

Finally fixed!

@T0jan gave me an heads up there's an incompatibility with newer versions of Flet so this package at this moment needs Flet versions below 8.0 so 0.7.4 is the latest possible version.

Issue posted upstream. If anyone is able to understand the issue let me know. https://github.com/sparkmicro/Ki-nTree/issues/199

Using python-build and python-installer works fine with projects built by Poetry.

Here's the altered PKGBUILD:

# Maintainer: Andrej Radović <r.andrej@gmail.com>
pkgname=python-kintree
_name=${pkgname#python-}
pkgver=1.0.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Fast part creation in KiCad and InvenTree"
url="https://github.com/sparkmicro/Ki-nTree"
depends=(
    'python'
    'python-digikey-api'
    'python-flet'
    'python-thefuzz'
    'python-inventree'
    'python-kiutils'
    'python-mouser'
    'python-multiprocess'
    'python-pyaml'
    'python-validators'
    'python-wrapt-timeout-decorator'
)
makedepends=(python-build python-installer python-wheel)
license=('GPL3')
arch=('any')
source=("https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/source/${_name::1}/$_name/$_name-$pkgver.tar.gz")
sha256sums=('a80846d8f9a9938f69ee11da854fa8ae75898d8163a9aada8dad52fd9811c5a2')

build() {
    cd "$srcdir/$_name-$pkgver"
    python -m build --wheel --no-isolation
}

package() {
    cd "$srcdir/$_name-$pkgver"
    python -m installer --destdir="$pkgdir" dist/*.whl
}

This doesn't work, however, because python-flet is broken even with that trick:

$ kintree

    from kintree.kintree_gui import main

This flet thing seems cool and easy to use, but is clearly immature, as is Flutter on Linux in general. I'm of the opinion that you have to balance this with reliability and stability. I suggested PyQt and PySide to Francois, those are reliable options; wxPython is also alright. I guess I just have higher tolerance towards bindings-for-old-C++-frameworks, being a C++ dev.

@andrejr with the comments on the python-flet package I could install the python-flet package successfully. We can proceed working on this package with thta manual fix while python-flet is actually fixed.

Thanks @andrejr The PKGBUILD you've shared uses a setup.py that is no longer present in the latest (1.0.1) version anymore. We need to either generate it with poetry-setup or build the package with poetry
