Hi AUR maintainers, I did a change in the pyqt package to add Python 3 support to it and to allow everyone to install both the Python2 and the Python3 version. Every package now need to depends on python2-qt (or python-qt if uses Python 3) instead of pyqt. The packages in [extra] and [community] have been updated, please do the same with your packages in AUR.
Also, the packages which depend on sip have to be fixed with the right dependence: python2-sip (or python-sip if the package uses Python 3).
Thank you!

I'm replying because this is tangential... why don't we specify "python3" instead of "python" as a dep to make packages future-proof? Even if Python 4 doesn't come out for a decade or more, it just seems that it would be logically consistent.
