THE PROBLEM:

* The check() function in python-pyftpdlib gives the following message:

'pysendfile' third-party module is not installed. This is not
essential but it considerably speeds up file transfers.
You can install it with 'pip install pysendfile'.
More at: https://github.com/giampaolo/pysendfile

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A SOLUTION:
* Install python-pyftpdlib from the AUR.
* run the check() function in python-pyftpdlib
There is no complaint about a missing library

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROPOSED FIX:

* Add python-pyftpdlib as an optional dependency of python-pyftpdlib,
or
* Move python-pyftpdlib into the community repository and make it a dependency.

Thanks so much!

python-pyftpdlib will use os.sendfile on Python 3. python2-pysendfile has been added as optdepends of python2-pyftpdlib though.
