Since python-nose has been deprecated since Fedora 32 (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DeprecateNose), you cannot depend on it. Since python-nose was retired for Fedora 43 (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePythonNose), you *really* cannot depend on it. Please find another way to run the tests.

Please consider not building and shipping the Sphinx-generated HTML documentation; as noted in bug 2006555, there are issues with bundled JavaScript, fonts, and so on. Recent FESCo decisions have made it more practical to handle this, but you still have to account for all the licenses of everything copied into the binary RPMs by Sphinx.

As this is a new package, please use the current Python guidelines https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python/, based on pyproject-rpm-macros, rather than https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Python_201x/.

I am sure you are aware that this package is dead upstream, with the last commit seven years ago. This doesn’t prevent packaging it, but it does mean you should probably think twice about whether you really need it, and it means you shoulder a greater burden on to deal with bugs and compatibility issues with no upstream assistance.
