python2-rpython failed to build

[hong li]

Hello,

I want to install python2-rpython 0.2.1 in guix, but the building
process failed with messages below.
I also checked the building history of the package, but found no
successful build in the output history.
https://data.guix.gnu.org/repository/1/branch/master/package/python2-rpython/output-history
Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

python2-rpython failed to build; since long time: fix or remove?

[zimoun]

Hi,

Thank you for the report.  Sadly, it appears that this package
python2-rpython does not build since a couple of months; if it had built
once.

<https://data.guix.gnu.org/repository/1/branch/master/package/python2-rpython/output-history>


On my machine, I get:

Since it python2 but in the same time there is not Python 3 version, the
question is: fix or remove?


All the best,
