This should be either a native-input (e.g. if necessary for tests), or
propagated-input (if it's imported at runtime).

I believe this should be https://gitlab.com/pycqa/flake8-polyfill

Otherwise LGTM!

Where does "decorated" come from? :)

This looks like the "expat" license.

Btw, this git version is *very* old. Consider `guix package -i git` ;-)

These need to be either native or propagated inputs.Please read the
Packaging guide i the manual. Thanks.

Does this package not need "picosat" as input? Or is it bundled?

Please also use @code{picosat} here, and preferably an explanation of
the SAT acronym :)

I used `./pre-inst-env guix environment guix --pure -- ./pre-inst-env
guix build --rounds=3 python-pycosat` to build the package, and it
built successfully without requiring picosat as an input, and hence I
submitted the patch as it was.
I will fix the remaining issues and resubmit the patch

If this is provided by the standard library as this link implies, why do
we need this package? Is it a python2 backport? In that case it should
be named "python2-typing" and you'll need to specify #:python as argument.

It is a backport for python versions older than 3.5

I tried building one of the packages that indicated typing as a
dependency, and it built without typing being an input.

I will ignore this package for now, and resubmit it at a later time,
if necessary when I get to the next batch of packages that rely on the
current series

If this is python2 only, the package should be named
"python2-ruamel.ordereddict".

Could you also use the "package-with-python2" procedure to add a python2
variant for all packages that work with either version? Look around in
python.scm for examples.

Can you send an updated series? Thanks in advance!

Hi Muriithi,

Thank you for these patches! I will respond to them individually.

They look good for the most part, but need some tiny tweaks that breaks
the patch context. In particular, descriptions should end with a period,
but if I add that to one patch, the next does not apply!

Normally I would simply amend these commits while applying them, so
please excuse the nit-picking.

Could you also add a copyright notice for yourself at the top of
python.scm with the first commit?

This should be a propagated-input, since rst2ansi needs docutils at
runtime.

The newline here is not necessary.

"Convert RST to ANSI-decorated console output".

All descriptions should end with a "." as mentioned above.
`guix lint python-rst2ansi` should warn about this.

If this is a requirement, then there's a bug with lint. It only seems
to care that there is no period at the end of the synopsis.
It doesn't seem to care for one existing, or lacking for the description.

I will work on the other issues you've raised and update the series of patches.
