Cannot upgrade to python2

I have problem upgrading https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2
The problem is upgrade progress always stuck at test 303/400

0:07:16 load avg: 1.83 [291/400] test_setcomps

0:07:36 load avg: 1.93 [303/400] test_socket -- test_smtpnet skipped (resource denied)

I have tried yay and makepkg and both leads to same result.

Re: Cannot upgrade to python2

Before investigating this further do you really require python2 which is EOL?  Is it being pulled in by yay as a dependency of something else?

Re: Cannot upgrade to python2

I wanna install it because it is in list of pending AURs of yay. I don't need it.

Re: Cannot upgrade to python2

Please check which of your installed packages does need python2 , then determine if those are worth keeping.

Post the output of

$ pacman -Qi python2

Re: Cannot upgrade to python2

If python2 is not currently installed please post the yay invocation and its full output that pulls it in.
