Re: Python Package Build Issue

[Antwane Mason <ad.mason1413@gmail.com>]

I was able to solve the issue with packaging python-fido2 definition. I
think the problem was that because the setup.py didn't specify where to
look for unit tests, it was loading up all of the project's modules to look
for them. Since this project is cross-platform, it contained code that was
windows specific in win_api.py. Changing the check build phase to invoke
"pipenv run test"  fixed the issue. This project recommends using pipenv to
run its tests in its README. Below is the updated package definition for
reference. Once I get python-onlykey and its dependencies built, I plan on
submitting a patch.
