MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-h5py [2]:

Please delete this broken and unneeded package.

HDF5 has discontinued Python 2 support 3 years ago, in 2019.

So this package fails to compile because it is incompatible with the
current API headers of the binary HDF5 scientific data format library.

Current owner @joaquinito2051 never updates any packages. He has
adopted 100+ packages on AUR so far without doing any work on them,
and he never responds to any messages or comments. He is unlikely to
catch up with 3 years of engineering work to make this Python2-to-
binary bindings module buildable and usable again.
