Should add
provides=("${pkgname[0]%-git}" "python-i3ipc")
to the PKGBUILD to avoid some problems/offer better conflict resolution

Submitted a non-git version on AUR in case anyone is interested.

@S13ntist This is a git package. Do not flag this package unless it's broken. It's up to you to keep up with rebuilds and upstream.
