MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-pysftp [2]: As this Python 2 based package is broken because of several missing Python 2 based dependencies in its dependency tree, maybe it would be better to delete this? Code has not been developed since 2016. And there is an AUR/python-pysftp package to be used with Python 3.
