MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-astropy-helpers [2]: Suggest to delete this, as all AstroPy-related packages moved to Python 3 after 2019 and don't work in Python 2 because of the incompatible binary bindings. I've tried to revive the package for python2-astropy and python2-h5py, but had to realize that the code is 3 years behind the HDF5 binary library's API, so it is not feasible for any single person to catch up with that within conceivable time frames. This one has just a few AUR dependents, and all of them are broken AstroPy consumers, having discontinued Python 2 support in 2019. (Deletion request submitted for all.)
