I'm trying to add a program that uses Python to the AUR. The app has no build script, and the main program uses files from other places in the repo directory. Should I just copy the repo files verbatim to the install directory and create a desktop file that runs the Python file?

If it helps, I'm trying to port the Mynah XMPP client.

I don't know. Just wanted mention that the post says "The app has no build script", so it cannot follow your advice to use the build scripts. I actually have my own Python script that has no build script either on AUR too. It just downloads the script and puts in bin folder, plus the README and LICENSE files. And off course the dependencies to existing tools, as it is more or less a wrapper script.
