Is there any way to install python2 directly binary ? because the one from AUR takes more than 17min to finish with failure.

I don’t understand the logic behind those source based packages on AUR, they are just wasting time, CPU and space while the final Linux binary is already available.
@micwoj92 adding export TERM=xterm to check() and xterm to checkdepends make the package build where before it failed, would you like to add it to the pkgbuild given the number of comments of people who can’t read the pinned comment?
Seems you don’t understand what AUR is. It’s NOT a package repository.
It’s funny you mention wasting time, cpu and space. That’s why arch isn’t building it for you (or anyone else) anymore. Most people don’t need it anymore. And the ones that do, can build it themselves.
Well if you already have packaged binary, then install that.
It has nothing to do with python itself. You can check archwiki on ‘makepkg’ and ‘PKGBUILD’ to get clearer picture of the build process and different functions in PKGBUILD file.
Will be even worse if you compile packages and not use the binary…IMHO, having once been there thanks to Gentoo, compiling packages are not really worth it.
