Ah, had not noticed that 1.0.0 is out – I’ve updated the package in https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/pull/924
to that now. There was some discussion about versioning it, but I think there is no real alternative to
packaging it as meson-pyNNN (see below).

I have not even looked into building a newer glib2 with it, as python itself depends in turn on glib2.
Dunno how other packagers would get around that circular dependency (other than maintaining
a glib2 <= 2.59 and glib2-current in parallel…)
In theory it might indeed be possible to build it with system Python 3.9 on newer macOS,
but since it needs to install its mesonbuild module in PYTHONPATH, I would not know how
to package that properly.
