Looks like something to do with network access is at least partially broken in Python 2.7 on some systems, which breaks the build. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or if anyone has a fix.
For now, installing/updating with yay -S python2 --mflags "--nocheck"
works, but network access and URL processing apparently do not work as expected. This will also not alert when additional things break.
The end of Python 2 on Arch seems imminent, unless someone wants to step in to fix this.
