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

I think this legacy Python 2 module can be deleted.

Currently on v1.3.1 from 2016. There were some newer updates
for Python 2, but SSL support seems to have remained broken
for a long time, and I guess downstream projects
were forced to migrate to Python 3.

Arch has dropped Mozilla's python2-certifi in 2019;
Mozilla discontinued Python 2 support for its certificates
package in 2020.

Therefore it seems this could no longer be used securely.

And anyway, it is broken because of the missing dependencies
and I think at this point in time it is not worth any further
effort.

Safe to delete as nothing on AUR depends on it.
