python2-pyqt depends on python3

The package python2-pyqt depends on pyqt, which itself requires python3. Is it a normal situation, or should I fill in a bug report ?

Re: python2-pyqt depends on python3

Sounds relevant to this arch-general “Pyqt packages confusion” thread I saw the other day

Re: python2-pyqt depends on python3

I changed PKGBUILDs of python2-pyqt and python2-sip when noticed that it requires python3, because there are no applications that uses python3 in my system yet. I will share them here, but use it on your own risk (if you want to, of course), because when an application that uses python3 will appear in your system - it will fail:

Re: python2-pyqt depends on python3

Thanks for this voidux.

That's really too bad that python2-pyqt and pyqt are not splitted (as done for instance for numpy).
According to the thread, it seems hopeless that they modify the PKGBUILD...
