Indeed. Perhaps Allan would be interested on this for his makepkg test
suite, although maybe more in the concept since the test suite us in
python.
It would be trivial to conver this to Python. I will probably do that
myself if there seems to be enough interest in it.

I don't know. I wrote this because I needed a PKGBUILD parser in Perl

It is quite a clever idea. I haven't seen this approach before. I
haven't looked at it thoroughly, but it looks like you're simply
sourcing the PKGBUILD with some trickery not to execute the code. Why
then the need for further parsing? Does `set` produce raw bash, e.g.

Wow this is quite clever. It definitely would make the job of parsing

I intend to flesh out the parser as special cases pop up. As already
mentioned, there will be limits to what it can do depending on whether
the packager uses

There was no response on the pacman-dev list but someone here might

It's written in Perl but it could easily be adapted to Python. It
handles Bash variable interpolation and string
