python2 was removed from arch repos but mentioned on the wiki

[sternstaub]

Hello everyone,

just wanted to mention that python2 is given as a build dependency for arch no longer available on the arch standard repo (AUR still has it). Since - on the AUR - 0ad does not show python2 as a dependency, i wondered if it is still required? Been over 14 years, after all...

i removed this from the wiki page and wanted you to know about it. If python2 is still needed, i can edit it again so that it tells to fetch python2 from the AUR. However, my current building process seems to work without python2 so far (not finished yet).

Was removed when we upgraded Spidermonkey versions from 38 to 45.

It says under requirements:

• Python 2.7 (required for cxxtest and non-system SpiderMonkey)

- so that is outdated too?

Yes. CXXTEST supports python3 (might need an alias in case python = python2) And I addressed Spidermonkey above.

Okay so that's now changed that to say "Python 3" instead. If any change is not ok, i change back.

Wanted reassurance not to break anything or change the wiki text with wrong Information.
