MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-stsci.tools [2]:

Not possible to make this Python 2 package work, because dependencies
like
python2-astropy and python2-h5py are not only missing but broken
beyond repair.

The reason is that the needed hdf5 scientific data storage format
library
has changed its C API headers so significantly that the deprecated
Python 2
binding library would not work without significant engineering effort,
which no one opted to invest.

Better to delete this package. Users should use the Python 3 based
packages.
