@ams1 Okay, so gconf package is required as makedepends, not python2-gconf.
pacman -Qo $(which gconfpkg)
/usr/bin/gconfpkg is owned by gconf 3.2.6-5

@jtojnar, I created an arch docker image, updated it, installed base-devel, ca-certificates-mozilla, and git, cloned this package and ran "makepkg -is", and all went perfectly.
I then repeated the experiment with python2-gconf, python2-notify and python2-wnck removed, and added python-gobject, as you suggested. The build worked fine, but installation failed with "/tmp/alpm_gTmg77/.INSTALL: line 5: gconfpkg: command not found". I tried again with python2-gobject, and got the same result.
(I know this says nothing of run-time dependencies.)

@ams1 I was getting rid of pygtk in my system.
I can install the package without python2-gconf just fine (no errors shown in the console) and the app works as well.
pygobject indeed is a transitive dependency but the package actually required for using GTK3 in Python is completely different – python2-gobject.
Also, why is there this line in the install script: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/hamster-time-tracker-git.install?h=hamster-time-tracker-git#n4

The dependencies are taken directly from the readme. Installation fails without python2-gconf. python2-gconf depends on pygobject, indirectly.
@jtojnar, did you encounter an actual problem?

Instead of python2-gconf, python2-notify and python2-wnck it depends on python-gobject.

Development has mostly ended on this project. It is in the process of a complete rewrite with library backend, command line interface, and GTK3 frontend.
See https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster-gtk
That project will take a while to complete. In the meantime it's probably best to ignore this (half-finished and now abandoned) development version, and use the stable package until the new tool is ready.
