no need to guard it for undefined: we want to be all flavors have it defined (empty flavor intentionally defines it to %nil)

this makes no sense: on TW, python_modules expands to all python flavors. meson is part of ring0 (distro bootstrap) and consuming more than the main distro version is not wanted at all

i.e this works as your prjconf contains

%pythons %{?!skip_python2:python2} %{?!skip_python3:python3}

this can't be duplicated into TW

without %python_subpackages in use, these python-* macros won't be translated and will be in the RPM literally as python-*

see https://build.opensuse.org/package/binary/home:gladiac:mailman/meson/15.5/x86_64/meson-1.1.1-lp155.271.1.noarch.rpm

this confirms it in the 15.5 build of meson

that sounds noble, but imho is even more confusing.

better use %endif %dnl with setuptools

I got everything working on Tumbleweed, Leap 15.5 still fails. Help is much appreciated.

as for the 15.5 test suite:

shebang of /usr/bin/meson on 15.5 is:

#!/usr/bin/python3
from mesonbuild.mesonmain import main
import sys

as such it tries to load the python modules for meson out of the default python version directories (3.6), not from the 3.11 flavor
