Someone pointed me out that because of my `make-depends`, people has to have both python2 and python3 installed to build only the desired version of the package, what is true.
So? They can remove the packages again after the build is complete (makepkg -r or preferably use devtools) and it's not like this is a another AUR package that requires like a 20 hour build and can only be done on a machine with at least 42 cores and 5TB of ram. It just requires a download and some more disk space which seems like a perfectly fine tradeoff if the alternative is to maintain two PKGBUILDs (one for each python version).
- It doesn't seem possible to put the make-depends inside the `pakages_<pkgname>()` function, isn't it?
Building only certain split packages is no longer supported since commit e8deba3b87784ca14c9afc908046f36a3ad7578c. This will be part of the next pacman version >=4.3 so even if it was possible this would be pointless.
