Clean chroot builded python2 package at https://sourceforge.net/projects/fabiololix-os-archive/files/Packages/
I did have to load the pgp key for this new system though.
@Cody_Learner yes because keys in AUR pkgbuilds are unrelated to system keys
@eniac @sp1cyf0x It builded fine for me on 2023-01-21 and today 2023-02-06
--nocheck option for makepkg exist for skipping tests
I built this for a new install today using the notes I posted below.

What error/fail messages are you guys getting?

Edit 2023-02-15: Add another build option.
My devtools wrapper script, bcc, has been tested to build python2 successfully in a clean chroot.
Additional info: https://github.com/Cody-Learner/bcc
I'm still at 2.7.18-7 as I can't build the latest version (tests failing) even when using the chroot solution below. Is there a way to skip those tests?
From the [ArchWiki]https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot, you can use extra-x86_64-build in the same directory where the PKGBUILD is.
Note that when I tried building this package in a clean chroot, it did not help pass the tests so it may differ between systems.
I had no luck building this one in an nspawn container using my aur helper script.
Install the devtools package if you decide to try this.
I made no changes to anything, and built it as git cloned.

I also have tests failing:

I agree with corslog54. If users want a simpler package, they can go with the -bin one.
That said, can you address the issue with test_time? This issue only affects python2 and since it is EOL, it won't be addressed from source.
Here is a possible fix (again): adding local -x TZ=UTC. References:https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/66265, https://bugs.gentoo.org/610628.
Environments where people build packages can differ greatly and a test failing can already indicate possibility of a package (or its functionality) not working correctly.
