Great, thanks. I wasn't aware of the epoch option, now I do :-)

No problem at all, two days is an absolutely fine response time :) Co-maintainership is much appreciated, thanks.

Because the new versioning scheme always counts as "older" than the old one (vercmp 3964.7b50bb0 v0.17.0.r148.2d672d2f is >0), the epoch PKGBUILD variable needs to be increased to make sure any upgrades will count as such in the future (vercmp 3964.7b50bb0 1:v0.17.0.r148.2d672d2f is <0). Just did that in the latest commit.

@xiretza, sorry for late reply. I've applied your patch and made you a co-maintainer (I can also hand it over to you if you prefer that). I am not sure I know what you mean with epoch that requires a bump.

Ah, sorry, epoch needs to be bumped too, forgot that in the patch.

Package is broken in a lot of ways, here's a patch (partly based on python-jedi):

@guibou: do you have any plans updating this package? If not, I am willing to take the package over from you.

This package needs an update (no package() function, no automatic versioning, license changed from LGPL to MIT), and I have proposed an improved version here: https://gist.github.com/davidovitch/c37e36b8af28ecd8f607

There is a small error in the makedepends section of the PKGBUILD file. Each package needs to be enclosed by single quotes:
makedepends=('git' 'python2-distribute')
