looking at setup.py, it has
license=["BSD"],
https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/python-cogent/-/blob/master/setup.py#L62
while the documentation for the setup() function indicates that licence should
be a string. That would certainly be consistent with the exception that is
raised with the output of get_license().
https://packaging.python.org/guides/distributing-packages-using-setuptools/
#license
I've not checked that this is indeed the problem, but patching setup.py to
have instead
license="BSD",
would be the next thing I'd try.
Incidentally, I see that upstream for cogent has ripped out setup.py entirely
and now has a flit based build system which will require a few changes to the
packaging in the future.
cheers
