MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-adb [2]: This unofficial ADB cli tool was discontinued in 2018. Its repo's README recommends python-adb-shell: https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=python-adb-shell That is currently maintained and works well. This one on the other hand is broken and is not worth keeping. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/python-adb/
