* Package name: python-dbus-fast

  Programming Lang: Python & C
  Description : Faster version of Python dbus-next

  dbus-fast is a Python library for DBus that aims to be a performant fully
  featured high level library primarily geared towards integration of
  applications into Linux desktop and mobile environments.
  .
  Desktop application developers can use this library for integrating their
  applications into desktop environments by implementing common DBus standard
  interfaces or creating custom plugin interfaces.
  .
  Desktop users can use this library to create their own scripts and utilities
  to interact with those interfaces for customization of their desktop
  environment.
  .
  dbus-fast plans to improve over other DBus libraries for Python in the
  following ways:
  .
   - Zero dependencies and pure Python 3.
   - Focus on performance
   - Support for multiple IO backends including asyncio and the GLib main loop.
   - Nonblocking IO suitable for GUI development.
   - Target the latest language features of Python for beautiful services and
 clients.
   - Complete implementation of the DBus type system without ever guessing
 types.
   - Integration tests for all features of the library.
   - Completely documented public API.

This package is needed because upstream for the Python bleak library has added
it as a dependancy.
 
I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.

beancount: updating to 2.3.5 and later

[Blair Noctis]

Hi team,

Was trying to package beancount 2.3.5, it failed with this:

After a little investigation it's found to be beancount.tools.sheets_upload
having changed to require google-auth-oauthlib in 2.3.4. It no longer depends on
googleapi, which itself hasn't seen upload or development since mid-2020.

Further on, beancount developement branch has non-core components moved to
beanlabs [1], including bin/upload-to-sheets, removing
beancount.tools.sheets_upload entirely [2]. Maybe we could start packaging 
beanlabs?
