Not sure how relevant this is but I notice in the AUR for mythtv-git there
are a number of optional packages related to python bindings.

I have all of them installed except "python-requests-cache". It failed
during build and is a known problem that is in the process of getting fixed.

I did install python-requests-cache-git and it installed correctly but I'm
not sure if that would work the same way or not.
