howdy: Howdy doesn't install on Fedora 32

Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible, including any errors and traces When trying to install Howdy on Fedora 32 I am getting this error. I’ve done research but cannot find any solutions online.

Problem: package howdy-2.5.1-2.fc31.x86_64 requires python3dist(v4l2), but none of the providers can be installed
  - conflicting requests
  - nothing provides python(abi) = 3.7 needed by python3-v4l2-0.2-1.fc31.noarch
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

Anyone has an idea how to fix this?

@kevintigelaar @persello @denzilferreira I’ve created a copr repo with al the required packages, seemed better than my own repo.

I was tired of the broken dependencies so I built it myself. Anyone interested, you can find it here. I also changed the dependencies because a lot where unnecessary. Only pam_python, python3-dlib and python3-opencv are necessary.

(You probably shouldn’t depend on that repo, because it’s for personal use.)

@principis Thank you so much for the help. You were super! I never got it working so far. It is really a great usability improvement. Thank you for your time.
