Since day one, the ebuild carries a number of hackfixes: - some seds on setup.py - installing additional files in src_install() - removing "tests" package The ebuild has no explanation why these things are done. I don't see a single issue or patch submitted upstream, even though at least "tests" is an entirely valid problem and upstream seems active. Unfortunately, this seems like yet another case of drive-by package added to ::gentoo with minimal effort and minimal interest in maintenance.
I see the package has been updated once again without addressing any of the problems or replying to this bug report.
Thank you @mgorny for sending the find_packages(exclude=["tests"]) fix upstream in https://github.com/wwkimball/yamlpath/pull/199. I will take your example and try to send fixes like this upstream in the future.
