Python2-pyqt depends on python3

Question

The package python2-pyqt depends on pyqt, which itself requires python3. Is it a normal situation, or should I fill in a bug report ?

Answer 1

I changed PKGBUILDs of python2-pyqt and python2-sip when noticed that it requires python3, because there are no applications that uses python3 in my system yet. I will share them here, but use it on your own risk (if you want to, of course), because when an application that uses python3 will appear in your system - it will fail:
