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/
# Remember to install licenses if the license is not a common license!
# install -D -m644 $srcdir/LICENSE $pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE
}
In most cases, you should put any in the arch array since most Python packages are architecture independent. However if you intend to upload to the official repositories then you should use arch=(i686 x86_64).
