[bug#56803,3/6] gnu: Add python-mpv.
Commit Message
Author states that the license of the library is inherited from libmpv,
which can be either GPLv2 or LPGLv2.1. That's why the package's license is
set to be the same as mpv's.
One of the tests had to be disabled because it would neither fail or pass,
blocking all other tests from running and the package from finishing its build
process. I have no clue on why it happens.
Rarely some tests fail without any apparent reason. This is possibly related
to: https://github.com/jaseg/python-mpv/issues/209
Also add copyright.
* gnu/packages/python-xyz.scm (python-mpv): Add variable.

IIUC, that's for using Guile modules defined in packages -- but mpv is
not a Guile package, so I expect that the surrounding with-extensions
can be dropped.

Look for substitute-keyword-arguments, which isn't stateful and hence
there is less risk of accidentally modifying the arguments of the parent
package. Also, any reason for not adding this to the original package?
(Possibly there is one).

Run "./pre-inst-env guix lint hydrus-network", it will have a remark
about this. Also, technically this is racy -- it's possible for python
to start before Xvfb is ready though so far this doesn't seem to have
caused trouble for other packages yet AFAIK -- I recommend "xvfb-run"
"--" "python" "test.py" instead.
(I just scrolled quickly through the patches, a more full review will
have to come later.)
Greetings,
Maxime.

This sounds like something upstream should be informed about, otherwise
they wouldn't know there is something to fix.
Greetings,
Maxime
