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.

Here's how I built it: 

$ mkdir ~/chroot/python2
$ CHROOT=~/chroot/python2
$ mkarchroot $CHROOT/root base-devel
$ cd ~/chroot/python2/root/home/
$ sudo git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/python2.git
$ sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/chroot/python2/root/home/python2/
$ cd ~/chroot/python2/root/home/python2/
$ makechrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT
Go have a beer. It takes some time to build.
If you see something like this when you return, you're in luck:

==> Creating package "python2"...
-> Generating .PKGINFO file...
-> Generating .BUILDINFO file...
-> Generating .MTREE file...
-> Compressing package...
==> Leaving fakeroot environment.
==> Finished making: python2 2.7.18-8 (Mon Jan 16 15:13:02 2023)

You'll find the built package in:

~/chroot/python2/root/home/python2/

I also have tests failing:

In addition to test_time, test_codecs and test_locale also fail. The build attempt was in a clean Archlinux installation in a machinectl (systemd-nspawn) container.

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.

micwoj92 commented on 2023-01-06 03:15 (UTC)

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.

swyter commented on 2023-01-06 01:37 (UTC)

You guys should disable the tests when building AUR packages altogether. They aren't doing anything remotely useful, they should be used for development, and add an insane amount of time and dependencies.

corslog54 commented on 2023-01-04 19:17 (UTC)

I am getting the build failure that sp1cyf0x had. Where exactly do I need to add the TZ=UTC line?
