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

I suggest to delete this legacy Python 2 based package,
since the source code supports Python 3 and this Python 2
based one is heavily broken on AUR because of so many missing
dependencies.

Maintainer @jadelord expressed that they no longer use Arch Linux so
it is not
possible for them to take an active role in the upkeep of this
package.

Many core scientific Python modules have deliberately moved on from
Python 2
to support Python 3 exclusively during the last 3 years; therefore
legacy
Python 2 scientific library package maintenance is best be avoided, or
otherwise
would be a significant effort. (Maybe pip/PyPI or Conda/Conda-Forge
could be a
working option for those people who might need such deprecated
versions.)

Safe to delete from here, not needed by any working package on AUR.
(Its one dependent has the same issue as this one; already submitted
deletion request.)
