Hi! This is my first time reviewing a package for Fedora; please let me know if you have any concerns.

I tested building/installing the package, the tests run successfully, and, using the library manually,
I was able to read in and tokenize a large VCD file without issues.

Overall, this package is great, but after carefully examining it I have a few nits:
Therefore the status is NEEDSWORK.

Issues found
============
- The included license file should be marked with a %license macro, since RPM isn't finding it automatically.
  (It's included in the dist-info directory, but isn't being copied to /usr/share/licenses/python3-pyvcd/.)
- The package should be updated to the latest upstream version, 0.4.1.
- The spec might need a "%py_provides python3-vcd" line because it provides a module called vcd.
  See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/#_provides_for_importable_modules
  The tricky part is that vcd is this project's MODNAME, but is *also* a valid PROJECTNAME on PyPI which is in use,
  so that could conflict with a future python3-vcd package. I'm going to ask the SIG members on Matrix about this one.
