[Python-modules-team] Bug#852482: flask-limiter: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: flask-limiter
Version: 0.9.3-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: buildpath

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that flask-limiter could not be built reproducibly.

It was previously using the current build path to parse its own
version number. There might be a cleaner, more general, solution
so this could be considered a WIP patch.


Patch attached.
