I found github/nexB/license-expression Python package to do SPDX licence

Successful attempt to package Python license-expression (without tests):

The package installs and runs using PoC attached in spdx-license-expression.py
script hooked into /usr/share/cygport/lib/pkg_pkg.cygpart license hint
addition patch attached.
I also ran a test of the Python script and module against all package source
cygport files declaring licences which I maintain or ever looked at, including
a git/cygwin-packages/*.cygport download from 2023-02, showing the results in
the attached log.
I also attempted to trap the exceptions in the script, but that does not seem
to work in any documented obvious manner, but I do not know enough Python to
address this fully.
If someone else who knows python cared to adopt and improve this in a more
normal manner, and incorporate this more smoothly into cygport, we could all
appreciate that.
Alternatively, some candid comments and frank feedback might allow me to do
so! ;^>
Also it is in PyPI and packaged by major Linux and BSD distros, and Msys2:
