[SOLVED] Installing Python package that needs libicu-dev

I'm trying to install the Polyglot package for Python 2.
In the installation notes, it says I need a package called libicu-dev. I can't seem to find this package for Arch in the AUR.
What would be the best way to proceed?

Re: [SOLVED] Installing Python package that needs libicu-dev

Those instructions were probably written for a debian-based system, Arch doesn't split packages up like that (except in a few cases, e.g. kernel headers), you probably just need the icu and python2-pyicu packages.

Thank you, that worked. Can I asked how you knew to install python2-pyicu as well?
