Note the tests are broken at the moment.

That is bit unfortunate, but checking it it seems that the code really does something wrong and as such I would recommend fixing it first (also upstream appears dead as there was last activity ~4years ago).

There is one another tiny issue in the package i spotted:

+mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_bindir}
+cp -p bin/generate_parser %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/generate_parser
+sed -i 's/env python/python/' %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/generate_parser

Should more be something like:

install -D -m0755 bin/generate_parser%{buildroot}%{_bindir}/generate_parser
sed -i  -e 's/env python$/python3/' %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/generate_parser

This package was ported to Python 3, and the tests were not updated at that time, and havent been updated since then either, probably because they always failed on Python 3.

I have been using this package through pybar3 , for templating in moban-handlebars , and havent encountered any bugs that stem from pymeta3. Rather than trying to fix this package's source and/or test suite, I'll first try getting the tests running for pybar3 as you requested at https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/666073 , which give us a better idea of whether this pymeta3 package is useful in its current state, and would indirectly provide ongoing tests for it.

Appreciate your effort in reviewing these requests.
