pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'archey4==4.7.0' distribution was not found and is required by the application about archey4 HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, thanks for reporting ! I can reproduce it within a Fedora 31 environment (Python 3.7.1).
I've browsed the WWW for a long time, and couldn't really understand why we are getting this.
The package generated by FPM looks good to me, but I'm not an RPM expert, so I fear we will have to ask for external help, maybe @Xysto ?

I've also tried (without any success) a distribution-independant SetupTools upgrade with : dnf install python3-pip && pip3 install -U setuptools.

Bye, keep us posted if you got any news on your own 👋

Okay got it.
We actually have to specify the Python version in the installation path, as : /usr/lib/python3.{4,5,6,7,8}/site-packages .
Debian implements a nice trick avoiding maintainers to deal with this issue, so I have not noticed it before.

• https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/488135/how-to-build-an-rpm-package-for-python-app-that-works-in-fedora-28-and-29-which#

So the question is : How do we "elegantly" support multiple CentOS / Fedora versions ?
I think about tweaking the build.sh script to deal with all of these versions.

@brilliant116, would archey4-4.Y.0Z-R.el{5,6,7,8}.noarch be sufficient from your point of view ?

Note for Arch Linux : As it is a rolling distribution, building compatible packages is easy as specifying the latest stable Python version.

EDIT : Okay, Python 3 looks like a mess in the RPM environment...
Should we rather follow the Fedora versioning ?
It would become something like archey4-4.Y.0Z-R.f[21-32].py3.{4,5,6,7,8}.noarch.

Update : I've dropped the elX and fYY ideas (too many supported Fedora releases).
@brilliant116, could you please tell us what you think about #60 ?

Closing here as a linked PR is opened.
