MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-fluiddyn-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 actively use Arch
Linux
so it is not possible for them to take an active role in the upkeep of
this package.

Safe to delete from here, not needed by any working package on AUR.
(Its two dependents come from the same source distribution, also
support
Python 3 now, and are owned by the same maintainer here, @jadelord.
I've
discussed the matter of maintenance of these package with them and I
think
the conclusions are that people should simply create new Python 3
packages
for this, or use other Python module distribution channels if they
really
need legacy Python 2 based version.)
