namcap is right. You need to fix the file's shebang

Or you are right. I also confused this with an other issue.
So is this shebang an upstream bug or PKGBUILD bug? I think its more a problem of the PKGBUILD as the upstrream source cannot really provide support for both versions in this special script.

The other error I found was this:
PKGBUILD (python-pyusb) E: Missing description in PKGBUILD
When the description is split into the packages and not a global description is used. That makes sense for python2. Have a look at pyusb.

Description is a bug (please report it separately). Fixing shebangs is your job. Closing.
