RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

Hi,

I am trying to build an RPM package. But when building the package, I got this message:

[    9s]   File "/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/Lector-0.3.1/lector/KindleUnpack/kindleunpack.py", line 183, in <module>

[    9s] RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
[   10s] error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.hWB5yf (%check)

Is here anything wrong with my configuration or I need to modify the code?

This very likely isn't anything at your end. It's to do with the KindleUnpack code that I'm including in the project. Give me a little time. I'll try to fix this myself, or I'll file an issue with the maintainer and see what they say.

Of course, if you feel like taking a stab at the thing, all help is welcome.

I found that it is caused by RPM %check macro which run python setup.py test or something related to test. But it not necessary for packaging a desktop application. So I just disabled this line and now I can install and package it.

Thanks for the reply!

@guoyunhe just in case you are still working on rpm spec files, there is a functional one for fedora at https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/bugzy/delayed/fedora-27-x86_64/00743845-lector/lector.spec

@bugzy Thanks! The package has been created. I am waiting openSUSE team to approve it. (I guess most of them are busy preparing openSUSE Leap 15 release...)
