Either use “sudo pacman -S” or “sudo pacman -Syu”. This is covered in the Arch Wiki. if you’re going to recommend to someone to do something, at least follow the distro’s suggestions for stability.

“Warning: When installing packages in Arch, avoid refreshing the package list without upgrading the system (for example, when a package is no longer found in the official repositories). In practice, do not run pacman -Sy package_name instead of pacman -Syu package_name, as this could lead to dependency issues. See System maintenance#Partial upgrades are unsupported and BBS#89328.”

@David,

Could you share the error messages with us while installing Python on Arch Linux? so that we can help you out with the solution…

Disappointing at best!
