Delegated path pattern does not match the target path in basic_repo.py

Please fill in the fields below to submit an issue or feature request. The more information that is provided, the better.

Description of issue or feature request: In the basic_repo.py example when the metadata is created the target ("basic_repo.py) is used as a Targetfile with a target path set of “manual_repo/basic_repo.py”.

But then when the delegated role is created its path pattern is “*.py” which given the spec should not match to be a delegated role for that target path.

When the generated metadata files are tested with a client, one cannot fetch the target since there's no match.

Current behavior:

A client cannot fetch the desired target file since there's no match.

Expected behavior:

A client should be able to fetch the desired target file.

For myself, I fixed it by removing the folder prefix in the target path, but let me know what would work for you and I can add a fix for it 👍

Oh there was a sort of question there in the end, sorry for missing that. Either way works for me
