Python Package Guidelines
From ArchWiki
Package Naming
For libraries, use python-modulename. For applications, use the program name. In either case, the pkgname should be entirely lowercase.
Examples
Most python packages are installed using the distutils system using setup.py. An example PKGBUILD is shown below
# Contributor: Your Name <youremail@domain.com> pkgname=python-foo pkgver=VERSION pkgrel=1 pkgdesc="" arch=(any) url="" license=() depends=('python') makedepends=() provides=() conflicts=() replaces=() backup=() options=(!emptydirs) install= build() { cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver python setup.py install --root=$pkgdir/ --optimize=1 || return 1 # Remember to install licenses if the license is not a common license! # install -D -m644 $srcdir/LICENSE $pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE }
NOTE: The --optimize parameter compiles .pyo files so they can be tracked by pacman
In most cases, you should put any in the arch array since most Python packages are architecture independent.
