Arch Linux User Repository

@lodopidolo I've added python-pip to makedepends.

Hi. I had same problem. It was solved installing python-pip package:

$ yay -S python-pip

Perhaps this package may be a dependency but now it isn't.

I get the following error:

==> Starting check()...

I've split python2 version into a separate package, it's still here if somebody needs it: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python2-num2words/

@a.kudelin I usually take the approach of "don't break it if it's not broken". It works for now, and I do not have any package download statistics that can be used to justify removal of the feature.

Maybe it's worth to remove python2 dependency? Arch Linux is in the course to get away from it.

@genofire Are you sure? I don't see any references to wheel in the repository, and we use setup.py directly (we do not download the pre-built binary package).

Missing dependency: python-wheel

Why not just stop building this for python2? 2 is dead anyway

Test failures happen mostly because cli test runner refers to executable simply as python, regardless of what version it was invoked with. So when running python2 setup.py test environment and dependencies are set up for Python 2, but the Python 3 interpreter is invoked instead and the dependency resolution fails.

Also there seems to be an issue with Unicode output when using Python 2.

Below is the patch that fixes both problems and allows the package to build successfully for both python versions.
