MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for mingw-w64-python [2]: Broken since quite some time ago. No reverse dependencies. (A comment by competent AUR maintainer @Martchus reported build failure on 2022-07-01. A dependency has been deleted 6 months ago, in Feb 2024.) Was needed earlier by some mingw-w64 packages, but for the past 6 months it is no longer the case. Some Windows cross-builds still use python as a makedepend, but that is satisfied by Arch/core/python. Last updated: 2021. Popularity: 0.000000 If during the next years this becomes needed again, a competent maintainer can quickly revive it and push an update. If not, I don't think it benefits anyone to keep an unused, several-years broken package. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/mingw-w64-python/
