This bootstrap logic is not necessary. See https://flit.pypa.io/en/stable/bootstrap.html.

Would it be possible to run unit tests like we do for most other Python packages?

Thanks for the pointer, I've adapted the spec:

%changelog
* Wed Oct 19 2022 Sandro Mani <manisandro> - 3.7.1-2
- Use flit bootstrapping logic

Spec URL: https://smani.fedorapeople.org/review/mingw-python-flit-core.spec
SRPM URL: https://smani.fedorapeople.org/review/mingw-python-flit-core-3.7.1-2.fc38.src.rpm


Regarding tests: I haven't yet looked into it for mingw-python packages, I'd prefer to finish the py3.11 migration first and then look into it.

I might as well...

LGTM: Just needs the license string expanded and compulsory comment added.

Approved!

Issues:
=======

- License field in the package spec file matches the actual license.
=> flit_core/versionno.py is BSD-2-Clause

- rpmlint: E: zero-length and E: non-executable-script regarding some sample files
=> I think that's okay
