[SOLVED] Should python-sip depend on sip?

$ namcap /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python-sip-4.19.12-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 
python-sip W: Dependency included and not needed ('python')

At the same time  python2-sip depends on sip.

$ namcap /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python2-sip-4.19.12-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 
python2-sip W: Dependency included and not needed ('sip')
python2-sip W: Dependency included and not needed ('python2')

Re: [SOLVED] Should python-sip depend on sip?

It was an oversight that any version of the python bindings for sip ever depended on sip at all. sip is build-time stuff, anything which uses it should have an explicit makedepends and things which use the bindings at runtime don't need to force its installation.
