Details

Description:
sip and pyqt package was recently split into python2 and python3 version; however the supposedly python2 packages (python2-sip and python2-pyqt) are now (indirectly) dependent of python3, which is rather excessive and unnecessary if one doesn't use python3. The path of dependencies is python2-sip -> sip -> python(3) and python2-pyqt -> pyqt -> python-sip -> python(3).

Additional info:
* python2-sip 4.12.2-1
PKGBUILD snippet:

package_python2-sip() {
pkgdesc="A tool that makes it easy to create Python2 bindings for C and C++ libraries"
depends=('sip' 'python2')
...
}

* python2-pyqt 4.8.4-1
PKGBUILD snippet:

pkgbase=pyqt
pkgname=('pyqt' 'python2-pyqt')
pkgver=4.8.4
pkgrel=1
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/intro"
license=('GPL')
makedepends=('qt' 'python-sip' 'dbus-python' 'python2-sip' 'phonon'
'python-opengl' 'qt-assistant-compat')

Steps to reproduce:
None
